    You want to very carefully check the wires at the passenger airbag (up under the dash) and the airbag controller (behind the center console - mounted on the tunnel). Do not put the key in the ignition - the key does not have to be turned on to activate the airbag circuit - only in the ignition. Keep the key in your pocket.

    :welcome: I had a 1976 911 S Where is the car located? You do realize MY1974 is before hot-galvanized bodies (rust resistant). Is it CIS or carbs (since he has changed engines)? Put it up on a rack and check all the head studs - unless they have been replaced with the newer type they will pull out of the case (look for tiny leaks). If you have any pics that would be nice...

    Fault 27 says firing circuit for the passenger side is not working (disconnected?). In another post you said your fault was 271? Is this the same car - same fault?
  4. Loren
    Are you sure it is 271 and not 71? Usually codes above 100 mean the triggering device is faulty and non-operational. These codes can not be cleared and the triggering device must be replaced.
  5. Loren
    Yup, it does that all the time - you just don't notice it.
  6. Loren
    O2 sensors? None of these codes point towards any O2 sensors problems. O2 sensors are there to help diagnose issues - rarely are they the issue. All of you codes above point to an air leak that the DME can not compensate for. Depending on the FRAU reading and RKAT readings Possible fault causes (FRAU below limit): - Incorrect main filling signal from hot-film mass air flow meter - Fuel pressure too high - Injection valve faulty (dripping) - Tank vent faulty (does not close completely) Possible fault causes (FRAU above limit): - Intake system leaking (secondary air) - Incorrect main filling signal from hot-film mass air flow meter - Leak in exhaust system - Fuel pressure too low - Fuel injector faulty (stuck) - Fuel pump delivery too low Possible causes (RKAT above limit): - Oil filler cap leaking (secondary air) - Intake system leaking (secondary air) - Crankcase ventilation leaking (secondary air) - Incorrect main filling signal from hot-film mass air flow meter - Leak in exhaust system - Tank vent faulty (does not close completely) Possible causes (RKAT below limit): - Incorrect main filling signal from hot-film mass air flow meter - Fuel pressure too high - Injection valve mechanically faulty (dripping) - Tank vent faulty (does not close completely)

    Since they are not Porsche wheels the tire size will also depend on the wheels offset. Check the offset numbers for the fronts and rears.

    on a side note, the card that came with the radio says serial# BE 6625 1 5003216 code #8326 not sure if this helps Don't trust the card use the readout on the radio (see the FAQ). Lots of older radios were replaced for peeling buttons and the new radio card may not have found its way to the owner. (I had the same thing when my radio was replaced under warranty). The radios for Boxster and Carrera are the same.

    Model and year of your car please? and manual or Tiptronic (the locks are different)?

    P0300 Misfire Damaging to Catalytic Converter P0302 Misfire, Cylinder 2, Damaging to Catalytic Converter P0304 Misfire, Cylinder 4, Damaging to Catalytic Converter P1314 Misfire, Cylinder 2, Emission Relevant P1316 Misfire, Cylinder 4, Emission Relevant P1319 Misfire, Emission Relevant Potential causes: - Fouled, faulty or incorrect - Contact resistance - Loose contacts Check spark plug connectors. Resistance: approx. 2 k ohms Check ignition coil(s). Resistance between terminal 1 and terminal 15 at 20°C: 0.3 - 0.7 ohms You might want to try an oil change too. If you really have a stuck lifter or two this might be a cheap fix - short of removing and replacing the lifters. If is is not one of the"easy" things you may need a PST2 or PIWIS to further diagnose mixtures and cam actuation and sensor readouts.

    It gets the readings from the one sensor - so I would suspect both would be off if the sensor or wiring were bad.
  12. Loren
    Try 9089 or 9087
  13. Loren
    Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
  14. Loren
    If it is just the oil pressure gauge/reading then it is likely the sender (sensor). I would check that first. If you had a plethora of electrical problems I would suspect the ignition switch. But as I said start with the sender and its wiring connection.
  15. Loren
    Please do not double post. Your second post has been deleted.

    From the FAQ... Can you give me a code for my PCM? Sorry, the only place you can get a PCM code is from a dealer/OPC.

    From Peter Smith's comments on the PCA website: "Question: Is there any way to increase the range of the keyless entry system as I must be standing almost next to the vehicle to get the doors to open. Also, the keyless remote won't unlock the rear hatch unless I step around from behind the car. Take a hint...make it work better, faster and from further away. Answer: Sorry, for this problem you will have to wait and see if Porsche comes out with something different to increase the range of the system. There are already a bunch of antennas in the car but the range doesn't seem that great. Only time will tell for now. Peter Smith - PCA WebSite - 9/13/2003"

    Don't press too hard - you are trying to loosen it - not pop it off or break the transmission housing.

    Item 4 I think his price is a little high as these are US MSRP $10.71 each
  20. Loren
    The alarm horn is next to the battery - the two horns that are connected to the steering wheel are behind the front bumper. So there are 3 horns. These horns die all the time so you may want to test them with a 12 volt source.
  21. Loren
    Try 4724 or 4722
  22. Loren
    I don't think it matters whether it is in gear or not. I think it is just stuck on the shaft. I would likely try to pry it a little with two wooden pry sticks - maybe just enough to loosen the stuck shaft.
  23. Loren
    :welcome: Sorry about your trouble. Do a search here and you will learn how to access the emergency release cable behind the right front wheel well liner.

    mcm97, TSBs are viewable on this site by our Contributing Members. If you would like to find out more about becoming one click here.

    It should come straight out if the transmission is horizontal.
