  1. Looks to me like your after cat O2 sensor heaters are gone on both sides (P1117 and P1121). Also, looks like the O2 sensor on bank 1-3 is open (P0140). I think the P1125 and P1123 are results of no heaters on either after cat O2 sensor. Looks like you need two new after cat O2 sensors to me. Bob Grisby said (at the Sunnyvale tech session) on Saturday that the latest O2 sensors could go 60k miles but some of the early 90's models only went about 60k miles. How many miles on your car?
  2. T(echnical)S(ervice)B(ulletin) 6420 is titled "Noises at the Windshield and Rear Window"and has a series of fixes for early 996's. Contributing Members can read this TSB (as well as other TSBs) online here.
  3. Chances are your CEL is flashing - If so, the car should not be driven. P0300 Misfire Damaging to Catallytic Converter P0303 Misfire, Cylinder 3, Damaging to Catalytic Converter P0306 Misfire, Cylinder 6, Damaging to Catalytic Converter Hmm... cylinder 3 and 6 are on different cylinder banks. Have the spark plugs been changed recently?
  4. No factory LSD was available for the Boxster. On a Boxster the transmission and transaxle are one - and they share the the same gear oil supply. The article you reference is for a 968 - a front engine - rear transaxle car. A 968 is completely different than a Boxster. Use the transmission oil change DIY here as a better reference. On a Boxster you will need remove part of the rear support members to get access. General instructions are here.
  5. It is very similar to the 996 install. If you want the full switched control then you would need to run the wiring through the car from the engine compartment to the dash. Add the relay and wiring to the fuse panel, add the vacuum connections in the engine compartment and mount the mufflers. The signal for activating the flaps in the main exhaust mufflers is provided by maps in the DME control module, not via the vehicle speedometer as was done with previously version systems.
  6. Nat, Do you have the part number for the plugs? So we can figure out if they are the wrong heat range or profile.
  7. Have you changed the spark plugs recently? Fault area - Fouled, faulty or incorrect spark plugs - Contact resistance (coils) - Loose contacts
  8. Can you post all the fault codes? and any other symptoms... These are for most of the current cars: Description -- Value -- Deviation Oxygen sensing, cylinder 1 - 3 -- 1.0 -- ±0.05 Oxygen sensing, cylinder 4 - 6 -- 1.0 -- ±0.05 Range 2, cylinder 1 - 3 (FRA) -- 1.02 -- ±0.04 Range 2, cylinder 4 - 6 (FRA2) -- 1.03 -- ±0.05 Range 1, cylinder 1 - 3 (TRA) -- 0.00 -- ±0.1 Range 1, cylinder 4 - 6 (TRA2) -- 0.00 -- ±0.1 O2 sensor voltage ahead of cat. conv. -- 0.04 ≤ UL ≤ 0.79 V O2 sensor voltage 2 ahead of cat. conv. -- 0.04 ≤ UL2 ≤ 0.79 V O2 sensor voltage behind cat. conv. -- 0.04 ≤ UL ≤ 0.79 V O2 sensor voltage 2 behind cat. conv. -- 0.04 ≤ UL2 ≤ 0.79 V
  9. Unless you own a Porsche system tester or a Bosch compatible tester - no. Chances are your car need the seat belt buckle TSB done. The Porsche system tester can verify this as the trouble area that triggered the light.
  10. Could be RMS, cam cover, Variocam solenoid, or even oil/water heat exchanger. Can you get a pic of where the engine mates to the transmission? If it is clean then that should rule out RMS.
  11. Not even close. 986 Intake 987 Intake
  12. 996 424 980 02 8YR Carbon/Leather Handbrake (black) 996 424 980 02 C50 Carbon/Leather Handbrake (graphite grey) Will fit either Boxster (986) or Carrera (996).
  13. Not sure what you mean by crevices. Do you have a pic you could post? I have a MY99 also and the only standard trim for that year was graphite grey. It has kind of a speckled finish to hide fingerprints.
  14. I think is this number: 477 971 851 Cable Clip (retail $.026 each). 12 are used on each car.
  15. Leather, leatherette or graphite grey plastic trim?
  16. There is an error in your image file could you please re-post it?
  17. Boxster door panels are not the same as a Carrera. The door latches are quite different.
  18. You can use some penetrating oil - but keep it away from the Oxygen Sensors.
  19. Where are you located? We could give you a hand at one of our work on cars days - if you are in the SF Bay area.
  20. We have added the following new TSBs: Carrera (997)/Carrera S (997) 1/05 6658 Aerokit Installation Instructions (dated 4-25-05) 2/05 2601 Sport Exhaust System Installation Instructions (I No. XLF) (dated 02-24-05) (special thanks to Contributing Member VB997)
