    What tool did you use? Is it capable of viewing pending faults?
  2. Loren
    Hi everyone, newbie to the forum. 1st Porsche also, a 04' cs. I just purchased this vehicle on an off lease. I had one of the dealers pull all the records for me and it looks like all the recall stuff had been done. I am experiencing the same issue with a rough idle and only when it's hot. After a night of cool down, it runs fine. I was wondering if your porblem was ever resolved and with what. I get a CEL and then it goes away. I know that I need to pull the code and should have the DuraMetric tool some time next week. Just lookin' for some insight. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Without the code(s) everything is just a wild guess.

    Yes, you need the fault code(s) to pinpoint the problem.
  5. Loren
    Try 0742 or 0740

    I don't know about the O2 sensor. Some folks here have reported problems with aftermarket O2 sensors and some folks have had no problems with them.
  9. Loren
    Do you think that could explain the issue??? what would you recommend? Sorry to ask this stupid question but what does IMHO means? Thanks. You need to make your own decision but I run 2 bars (down from the top) - and I don't get smoke at all.

    Running your oil level at max is too high for the track (IMHO).

    My understanding is that MY97, 98, and 99 were 2.5 liter and the 2.7 liter engine started in MY2000.

    The only way you can get both the OBD II (emissions) fault codes and the other control fault codes is by getting both the OBD II manual (for your model year) and the service manual (for your model year). There are quite a few more controllers in the 9x7 series cars so more potential fault codes. Remember having a fault code does not always require a fix. Sometimes the problem corrects itself and sometimes it points to a real problem. Sometimes faults can be gererated by simply disconnecting the battery. Like anything they need to be taken into context with any problem you may be having. So what (if anything) is wrong with your car?
  13. Loren
    No, I have not personally done this job. Those instructions are from the Porsche Service manual so they should be spot on.
  14. Loren
    Sounds like someone changed them out. Got a pic?
  15. Loren
    :welcome: It is the same as on MY02 and newer 996's. Been covered here many times. Please try our Search function.

    The signal from CMP sensor 1 identifies the first cylinder. If both the crankshaft position (reference mark) signal and the CMP sensor signal coincide, this signifies the ignition timing for cylinder 1. The recognition of cylinder 1 is necessary for the purpose of sequential fuel injection and knock control.
  17. Loren
    Do you know the fault code(s)?

    47 Central locking synchronization - Central locking not possible Possible cause of fault - Short circuit to ground/open circuit between alarm system control module and door locks - Door lock faulty 61 Central locking limit position, Unlocked not reached - Central locking not possible Possible cause of fault - Incorrect country coding - Short circuit to ground/open circuit in wiring between the alarm system control module, central locking switch or door locks - Door lock (driver's/passenger's) faulty - Control module faulty I have seen fault 47 on a number of cars and one of theories is that you can cause this fault by trying to lock the door before it is closed. We usually erase the faults (which unfortunately you can't do with the Durametric software) and see if they come back. If locking/unlocking is working on the car I would not worry about these two faults. If not, further investigation is needed.

    WWM-210-300 leather wallet for sports cars for $17.32 (Sunset Imports price). These are very close to what originally came with the car (which I do not think are still available). Since these have to be ordered it may take a week or two.

    P0410 Secondary Air Injection System - Signal Implausible (Cylinders 1 - 3) but no P1411? usually you get both together. Potential causes: Secondary air injection pump does not work. Air supply lines restricted. Electric change-over valve does not work. Air change-over valve does not work. Vacuum system leaks. Possible fault areas: - Relay - DME control module - Air supply lines - Secondary air injection pump - Electric change-over valve - Air change-over valve

    Have you thought about trading them for the correct rear wheels. WheelEnhancemnt.com will take your used wheels and give you a credit towards new/different wheels. I did that for my car when I went from 7.5 " front wheels to 8.0" fronts.

    Porsche does not make a 7 mm spacer (only 5 mm and 17 mm). But yes, the wheel bolt patterns are the same.
  23. Loren
    Yes, with the pan and filter off the hydraulic control unit is exposed.
  24. Loren
    Changing the fluid and filter should cause no harm or change. Once the pan is off the valves are exposed so I guess they could have accidental damaged one or more. I guess I would ask why they reported no faults before their service work and now have faults (I'd like to hear this one). Just changing fluid and filter should not have caused this. If they balk - you might want to get a second opinion.

    The US and RoW shocks for 996TT have different part numbers.
