  1. Normal idle speed on a 3.4 liter car is 700 RPM.

    I don't think idle is your problem - the CEL and smoke is.

    P1128 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 2 (Cylinders 1 . 3) - Rich Threshold

    P1130 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 2 (Cylinders 4 - 6) - Rich Threshold

    These mean that the fuel/air mixture is so lean that sensing has reached its rich threshold. That is, you have an air leak that the DME can not add enough gas to meet proper mixture (and emissions).

    Probable causes are (from the OBD II manual):

    - Intake air system leaking.

    - Fuel pressure too low.

    - Volume supply of fuel pump too low.

    - Fuel injectors fouled.

    Since you had (or still have smoke) then the oil separator is a potential air(/oil) leak. Even a bad oil filler cap or hose can cause this too. You need to find the source of the air leak.

  2. Loren - thanks for the help. I did have one additional question - I do not see the W500 series in TSB section. Am I looking in the wrong place?

    Thanks again for the help.

    Yeah, those that are listed in the Cayenne Quality-improvement Workshop Campaign were only sent to dealers. If I can get a hold them I will post them. They will all have a VIN list with them since not all Cayenne's were affected.
  3. The TSBs are all grouped by number. Porsche uses the same sequence for sports cars and suvs. The number sequence follows the factory service manual sections to make it easier for the technicians. For instance Group 1: Engine would have TSBs starting with "1xxx" and Group 4: Running Gear would have TSBs starting with "4xxx". Here is the general sequence:

    Group 0: Entire Vehicle

    Group 0: Diagnois, Part 1

    Group 0: Diagnois, Part 2

    Group 1: Engine

    Group 2: Fuel, Exhaust, Engine Electronics

    Group 3: Transmission

    Group 4: Running Gear

    Group 5: Body

    Group 6: Body Exterior

    Group 7: Body Interior

    Group 8: Air Conditioning

    Group 9: Electrics

    Some items are covered under "Campaign Information". These are also included with the TSBs and are labeled with "W" numbers. "W" is for Workshop Service Action. Porsche started a Cayenne Quality-improvement Workshop Campaign in the Fall/Winter of 2004. For a complete listing go to the Contributing Members forum and read the Cayenne item "Cayenne Quality-improvement Workshop Campaign, Fall/Winter 2004" pinned at the top of the forum.

    Your dealer should check your VIN against all of these outstanding WSA's and perform any that are needed - at no charge. Some of the items you describe are simple software updates to the PCM2 and DME.

  4. That part number does not come up in the parts system. The early Boxster side skirts were 986 559 983 00 and 986 559 984 00 (left and right sides).

    Carrera side skirts all start with 996 559 983 xx and 996 559 984 xx.

    That may be the raw (pre coated) part number for a Boxster side skirt. Unless that is the basis for the RUF side skirt (they build on to that) it will not likely fit a Carrera.

  5. It was $7 when I bought one in 2000. I think Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) has them for around $20.

    Such a shame that Porsche has decided to gouge folks for this simple item.
