Do you have the diagram for the nob remove.

Thanks million.

That'l help. THANKS!

I think I need check the center pivot. My next question is how to open the shift cover.

Are you saying the shift knob is loose?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Hi Loren,

Thank you.

It's the shift lever, loose when move between (D) and (M).

Problem on my '99 Carrera Tiptronic.

The shift between D - M becomes very loose , I turn into accidentaly shift it when I drive.

Any idea? How to fix it.

Thansk.

Cobra, I has the same problem just like yours.

Thank you Dean. I will try to order a MAF today.

Where is EVAP canister located?

No after market filer nor intake system.

Fuel filter just changed within 30days.

Do you have the '99 996 intake diagram for my tracing?

Thank you much.

Tommy

Loren,

The CEL on again after one month -1000M ,

OBDII read as P1128 P1125 and P1130 I reset them , and not come

back for 20M drove.

Any idea?

Thanks

Loren,

After cleaned those old oxygen sensors by wire brush and put them back, the CEL not coming back so far.

Can you kindly email me the MY99 in case I have wrong parts again.

Thanks,

Get the Pcode read by someone with a scan tool. Write down all the Pcodes and then post them here. Some parts stores will do this for free.

Loren,

After changed all four O2 sensors , the CEL still came back on after 10min.( I only disconnected the battery to reset it)

That's scanner reading:

P1115

P1119

P1117

P1121

I check the new parts number was different than the old one.

Ahead of catalytic 993.606118.01 (OLD) 996.606.161.178.01 (NEW, Black color)

After Catalytic 993.606.128.01(OLD) 996.606.161.168.01 (NEW, Blue color)

There's only one way (direction) the each connector can be plug in.

1. Did I use the wrong parts?

2. Do I have to reset it by OBD-2 Scanner instead disconnect battery?

Thank you,

Tommy

I am not sure if the CEL has anything to do with the Coolant cap. It usually has something to do with the emission issues. I had mine come and go for some time. Would come on stay on for 2-3 days and then go away for 2-3 days.

It is mostly to do with a marginal O2 sensors. There are total of 6 sensors on a 996 and anyone going bad can turn this light on.

They replaced all six sensors in my car to fix the issue.

Keep an eye on the CEL light. If it comes back again have some decode the code and make sure it is not the O2 sensor.

Good Luck.

Noor.

Noor,

You're exactly right.

The light on again today, now I think I need to look into the O2 issue.

Thank you.

Tommy

Dear all,

Finally my CE light off after I tighten the coolant reservoir cap.

Any idea?

Anyway, I'm so happy for the problem solved.

Thanks a lot everyone .
