    In order of least costly to most costly... Could be just a re-calibration needed. Could be a bad tank sensor. Could be a bad cluster. Until someone does further diagnosis with a PST2 (or PIWIS) you likely won't know know the cause.
  2. Loren
    Sounds like a bad fuel level sensor. Any dealer or shop with a PST2 (or PIWIS) tester should be able troubleshoot this down to the faulty component.

    Model 996 or 997? you posted in both forums (which is a no-no) Model year? RoW or US? Accelerator pedal? It might help if you tell what you are trying to accomplish.
  4. Loren
    From what I can tell a P0702 can generate a sub-code (Porsche code only). Here are the sub codes and their meaning: 58 Control module faulty (test internal watchdog) 59 Control module faulty (test external watchdog) 62 Control module faulty (RAM) 63 Control module faulty (ROM) 64 Control module faulty (EEPROM critical for normal function) All of the troubleshooting says to replace the Tip control module except for code 58 which says to re-program the module. That might be worth a try before replacing it.

    They are only held on with double-stick tape. You need a hairdryer (for heat), some dental floss (to saw away the glue) and some 3M adhesive remover (to clean the remaining glue off).
  8. Loren
    Remove the plastic covers from the pivot points and then remove the bolts.

    Did you try using Search? This has been discussed here many times before. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...&hl=lighter

    No, what was said is that some early cars may not have had them installed - or perhaps the dealer prep forgot to reinstall them. My June 1999 build car does have all of them. I think the air flow under the car will be better with all the underbody covers in place. On a CGT the whole undercarriage is covered and very smooth.
  11. Loren
    The only underbody cover that is different is the front cover for C2 or C4 - otherwise there is no difference for any model year.
  12. Loren
    Ignition switch? or did it just pop out of gear?

    Solid spoke: Rubber valve stem and ribbed surface behind spokes Hollow spoke: Metal valve stem and smooth surface behind spokes

    There is no idle control valve on a MY02 car. MY00 on all have egas. I would have a look at the throttle butterfly and see if it is carbon'ed up. Also look for loose vacuum hoses, dirty air filter and potentially bad gas.
  15. Loren
    Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost (at the top of any page). Sunset Imports sells at dealer cost plus 15%.

    TSB 4/03 2804 Replacement Ignition Switch -- dated 11-24-03
  17. Loren
    I don't think so. My 996 has been hacked for blinking sidemarkers and there was no need to change any bulbs.
  18. Loren
    There does not appear to any differences in wiring between US and RoW. All front end lights are controlled by the "CU Bug" (controller) so I would would bet that there is a setting to program that with a PIWIS. Either I or Tool Pants will try and check next time we see a 987/997 in the local shop.
  19. Loren
    That software is reviewed here.
  20. Loren
    It is definitely not Porsche factory parts.
  21. Loren
    Could RMS or IMS if it from the joint between the engine and transmission. My first RMS leak was at 9000 miles.
  22. Loren
    The radio alarm wire goes into a connector so there is need to tape it unless you cut (or remove it) from the connector.
  23. Loren
    There was a problem on some MY2000 and newer cars where the power steering return hose could cause noises (TSB 1/00 4895 Power Steering Return Hose -- dated 4-21-00). If the problem is not that hose then it will need to be narrowed down to the pump in the engine compartment or the steering gear in the front.
  24. Loren
    Still... photos that allow us to read the writing on the boxes might help.
  25. Loren
    All of this is covered in TSB 2/98 6315 Installing the Aerokit Front Spoiler, Rear Spoiler and Side Member Panels -- dated Sept 4, 1998. "4.0 Disconnect the retractable spoiler warning light. 4.1 Remove instrument cluster according to the boxster Technical Manual, Group 7, Operation 7018. 4.2 Remove spoiler warning light bulb by turning 180 degrees. 4.3 Reinstall instrument cluster." As a new memebr here you may not realize that Contributing Members can read all TSBs here online - as well as many other benefits. :welcome:
