  1. On a MY99 with PCM 1 I think the amp plugs into the radio not the PCM. The only wires that go to the PCM are the DSP (if you have that option). See below for the 6 wires.
  2. There are 3 TSBs on this problem on early 996's. Fixes include a new clutch spring assembly, a modification to the clutch pedal arm, and lubrication. A dealer/shop with copies of the TSBs should be able to tell which fixes have been performed and which ones still need to be done.
  3. For a MY02 (or 03): 996 100 970 15 Replacement engine X50, M480, M152 (it was $42,057.14 in Nov 2003)
  4. What year and transmission? (MY02,03, 04 and 6spd or Tip)
  5. Might want to stay away from Road Atlanta - we don't need anymore flying Porsches... :lol: Flying_Porsche.mpg
  6. Perhaps you are talking about the starter? Picture above is the (what I call tail) non-engine end of the transmision. Below is the whole transmission.
  7. There is a chance that something has happened to the cable or shift linkage. Both should be inspected for proper operation. If the cables and linkage are in order then it is not likely good.
  8. Hmm... may be tough on a 996 depending on where you want to measure it at. If you look at the GT3 and GT3 Cup cars they take it off the oil return at the oil/water heat exchanger - but that is a different engine and heat exchanger than a normal 996. On a 996 that is where the water temp is taken. Likely the most accurate place to measure. Perhaps one of the racing shops has done this?
  9. Sounds like the the backup light switch. The connector should come off - most Porsche connectors have a latch type mechanism. It does not have a gasket so if it is leaking (and not just loose) you'll need to replace the switch (996 606 133 00).
  10. Congrats and welcome to the board! :welcome: You will want to take care of your backfires/popping ASAP. A forceful backfire is known to blow the (plastic) air box (I speak from experience). Once again welcome!
  11. According to the parts list the part numbers are the same as the 996. My 996 DIY is here
  12. Depends on the model year. On a 996 they changed to one piece in MY02 whereas earlier cars had 3 pieces.
  13. I'm sure you mean PCM 2 (not PCM 3). There have been a half dozen TSBs for problems on the Cayenne with PCM2 so your dealer should likely have a look at your car. Interesting also is that the MY05 Cayenne's will get PCM 2.1 which is a updated and upgraded system.
  14. The only other schematic with a 2nd phone diagram is the PCM schematic - so perhaps the wiring is the same. Here it is...
  15. When you see "trim", it means "compensation". As far as I know GM invented this term. Fuel trim in the positive side indicates the computer (DME) is adding fuel and, of course, the negative side indicates computer is subtracting fuel. For example - As the pump pressure starts to decay or the fuel filter begins to clog, the computer will respond by adjusting long-term fuel trim numbers in an attempt to get short-term fuel trim back to zero correction. The computer keeps tables of both short term and long term compensation (or trim). If you do a Google search on "fuel trim" you will likely come across more technical articles on it - but not likely aimed at Porsche cars.
  16. The codes mean that you are getting too much gas and the DME can not compensate for it. My info comes from the Porsche ODB II manual.
  17. US/Canada cars do not get phones so they do not have the wiring. Are you talking about option M618? Because the wire colors don't match for the Handy option.
