  1. Try 3653
  2. You need to search the 996 and 986 forums only for the word "remote". When I did it I got 55 pages of results...
  3. Model on the front of the radio? (i.e. CD-xxx CDR-xx, etc.)
  4. Always helpful to add the exact model and year of your car - and radio in this case. Also whether the car has an amp, cd-changer, or DSP (also factory or 3rd party for each).
  5. Please do a search here this has been covered many, many times.
  6. You likely got the wait because one of the first 3 numbers was wrong. Try 6542
  7. Try 0850
  8. Try 1570
  9. Try 8194
  10. I remember we did a RennTech.org Work on Cars Day and this young man was doing maintenance including oil and spark plugs. He had missing all on one bank and he was sure he had tightened the spark plugs and snapped the electrical connections tight. After further inspection he had forgotten to torque down the 3 spark plugs on that side of the engine - so it can happen.
  11. Porsche stopped using PST in 2004 and introduced PIWIS. Then PIWIS 2 and now PIWIS 3. All of which are backward compatible - for a price. $18,000 per year lease for a PIWIS.
  12. Poor wiring connection or loose spark plugs?
  13. No, PST2 runs on a customized version of Windows 3.11. (That would be before Windows 95!)
  14. Did you pull the plug and inspect the coil and wiring?
  15. I do not think you are getting the Porsche specific fault codes. Misfires on one bank many times indicates a cam timing or solenoid issue. Best find someone with a Durametric or Porsche PST2 or Porsche PIWIS diagnostic tool.
  16. Exact model and year of your car please...
  17. Try 3163
  18. Try 9419
  19. Try 2436
  20. Try 1021
  21. Try 4732
  22. You did not read the Lost Radio Code FAQ - read this first did you? If you had you would have seen this: "Can you give me a code for my PCM? These units are manufactured jointly by Siemens and Becker, and the only place where you can get the codes required is from the dealer/OPC. The PCM’s require two codes, the ICS/Siemens code and a Becker code. The ICS is the first code requested. Sorry, the only place you can get a PCM code is from a dealer/OPC."
  23. The fuel tanks and plumbing are very different between the C2 and C4 due to the front drive axle in the C4. C4's historically have more fuel tank issues (mainly with calibration) because their are two sides to the fuel tank - a saddle bag layout. If your tank is not filling all the way then I would suspect a crimped fuel fill hose or one of the other lines for vent return.
  24. C2 or C4?
