Model year?

P0410 Secondary Air Injection System - Signal Implausible (Cylinders 1 - 3) Secondary air injection pump is not triggered. Potential causes: - Wiring harness or fuse - Relay - DME control module - Air supply lines - Secondary air injection pump - Electric change-over valve - Air change-over valve

Just put an ad in the Wanted section - chances are someone upgraded to PSE or some 3rd party mufflers and has a set sitting in their garage.

The 3.8 liter mufflers have a different part number (substantially different) - so I think even though they seem to look the same something might be different inside. But they look they could work. The 3.8 engine also benefits from different headers - which I doubt would fit properly on a 996 3.4 liter either. IMHO - if you are looking for horsepower I don't think you are going to get any.

Yes to both. Sometimes you can open those up and clean them up and bend them a little and get another 6 months out of them. Otherwise you likely need a new key head.

I personally would not recommend any flushes or oil additives unless the car had been sitting (and not started) for quite some time (over one year). I would suggest that you get the engine good and hot - let it cool some and then drain all the oil that you can. Give it at least 30 minutes or more. Then refill with a good approved oil.

Well, you can try a new battery but the keyhead may be bad. Does your second key work fine?

Probably not if you did not turn it too far.

Loren: Thanks so much for the TSB. I tried all that and now no lights work. What next? zlawman;2001 Boxster;seal grey;tip And your problem is the same as the first poster? The light stayed on all the time?

Yes, they can be replaced without removing any covers (just spark plugs, coils etc.). If they were fixed with the new o-ring then it would be unusual to have another leak (in my experience).

I see both 000 043 205 47 003 and 000 043 205 47 004 in the system but they have no description other than "cdrom". You might check those part numbers with your local OPC.

Porsche TSB on the subject says to replace the buckle(s) and resolder the grounds under the seat.

You need three hands and fingernails - it will stretch to fit. ;) Last time I put one on my wife had to hold two sides while I held two sides to keep it flat while I put the fastener on. It might held to warm it up by putting under warm water first.

One solenoid (item 7) locks both handles (front and rear). Since the fuel filler door works (and assuming the locking pin is not sheared off) then it must be a bad solenoid or one of the wires is not connected. Here is a link for a DIY to get at the solenoid. Hood/Trunk Latch Release Removal/Install

Can you open the fuel filler lid? They are on the same circuit. Both are controller by the Alarm/Central Locking control box. So, if there is not a bad connection or broken wire then you may need a PST2 or PIWIS to troubleshoot it.

We have updated the Blog section of the site to the latest version. Some of the new features/updates are: New Default Style - The Blog has been overhauled with a fresh new style, one which feels more like a traditional blog. Themes and Custom Headers - You can now install 'theme packs' and allow your users to choose which of these themes will be applied to their blog. Using themes you can completely change the look and layout of an individual blog. (I have not tried this yet) Content Block Plugin System - It's now much easier to create your own content blocks, using a new plugin system. It's now possible to define settings for a plugin that apply to individual blogs, this means that you can integrate with 3rd party widgets that require a unique username for each blog. We've also included new content blocks in this release: Twitter, MyBlogLog, Google Reader, Friends Blogs, Recent Visitors, Digg, and Last.FM. Social Bookmarks - A new bookmark manager allows you to define bookmark services for your blog system. These services will allow blog entries to be easily submitted to the bookmark services that you setup. There are several preconfigured services: Del.icio.us, Digg, Google, Facebook, Mixx, Reddit, and Stumbleupon. Media Integration - The new tag allows you to automatically convert various media types into a more usable format. For example, [ blogmedia ]http://www.test.com/somemp3.mp3[/ blogmedia] would be converted into a mp3 player for the specified file. You can define any media type you like in the Media Tag manager, by default we include: Flickr Image Set, GameTrailers, Google Video, MP3 Player, MySpace Video, Veoh, and YouTube. Other Changes: - Feedburner Integration - Akisment Integration - Edit Entry Date - Display article count for categories - Blog Offline Mode - Entry author replies in comments are now highlighted - Admins can select a 'Featured Entry' to be displayed on the blog listing We hope you enjoy this new version!

I gave you Porsche's spec for narrow body cars with 18" wheels. Porsche does not recommend 19" wheels for 996's period. I should have said that in my first post. Others may "fit" but are not recommended by Porsche.

Hmm... are you sure it is not something on the polyrib belt path? (i.e. alternator, power steering, pulley(s), etc.)

Clean the throttle body.

If you have to turn it - then turn it in normal running direction (not backwards).

Narrow body cars need: Front 50-52 mm offset Rear 65 mm offset

There is no 996 TT manual there last time I looked. And, most of the manuals there are woefully out of date and missing important supplements.

Try 8362 or 8360

That is strange. You might want to try and call the Becker folks. 201-961-1399
