  1. @Loren @JFP in PA @Ahsai I need help guys, please! Does the durametric even operate the regeneration valve under the intake plenum or is that activation for the valve by the carbon canister?
  2. Hey Guys, So I am slowly trying to get things figured out with the car when I get some free time (I have 7 month old twins). I built a DIY smoke machine I saw on YouTube, I just need a couple more barbed fittings to hold the tube into the vacuum lines. With the car in service mode, I activated the Fuel Evap Purge selection on the Durametric and heard and felt nothing from the valve under the intake plenum that goes to the TB. Could this be stuck open and causing the large evap leak P0455 and causing my issue? Is there a way to clamp off the hose and recheck the TRA values to see if they go normal with no Evap system? Thanks
  3. Hello All, I have a 1999 Boxster. I recently had fault code 34 for the Central Locking unit. I switched out the interior sensor and now I am getting fault code 22. Any help on this? I'm not sure what the difference is between the two codes. Thanks!
  4. Yes I currently have P0455 and P1126, P1124 was pending.
  5. I cleared the codes and had the battery unplugged a while during a window regulator replacement, does that quality as a reset? I will get the values shortly...
  6. The gas cap was the first thing I tried, made no difference even with a new one. Also I completed this fix a couple of weeks ago, and checked the values. They are all within 3-4 of being perfect.
  7. Hi All, Sorry for the delayed update. I found a couple hoses broken and disconnected, I used the carb cleaner technique to find my vacuum leak. I am still having the same issue with the A/C on. I also have codes P0455, P1124, and P1126. I have seen many posts relating to P0455 and what can cause it, but I haven't found a write up on how to test the various components. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Avi Salem
  8. Thanks, I will have to try that when I get another chance, I did pull the oil filler cap with the car running, the idle seemed actually better and smoother with the cap off.
  9. Hey Ahsai, Last night I blew smoke into the J tube coming from the AOS to the throttle body, did not detect and smoke coming out anywhere, even manually turned the butterfly on the throttle to see if I could get anything coming out from that end. Also blew smoke through the J tube the other way, towards the AOS, and still didn't see any leaks. Should my next step be trying to pull the oil filler cap off the car to see how much vacuum it's pulling? On a side note, after reconnecting everything and starting the car, I kept get engine misfire codes with the CEL blinking, needed to clear these out and keep my foot on the gas to keep the car running smooth, eventually it ran ok by itself. The TRA/2 are still running .37.
  10. Thanks Ahsai, I hope I can find the leak, I don't have a smoke tester. I do use a vape, maybe a couple of puffs to the engine bay will help
  11. Hey guys, FRA is .99 FRA 2 is 1.00 TRA is .37 Tra 2 is .37 Load signal is 1.15 Air mass varies from 15.75 to 16.25
  12. I actually looked at FRA and TRA, sorry for the confusion. One was at .94 and the other was at .37, looked like the 2 banks had different numbers
  13. Hi JFP, I don't think the Durametric offers the trim values for the 986, I just looked through all the options and couldn't find it. Is there anything else I can check? Also, I find it so strange that I can rev the engine in neutral with the air conditioner on and not have a problem, but when driving and shifting gears, I have a problem. I would think if the A/C is pulling too much load, I would have the same issue when I rev the engine and release the gas in neutral. Thanks
  14. Thanks JFP. I will have to check the codes in the AM, but I know they relate to both banks running lean. I probably should've added that in my initial post! I have already pulled the MAF and sprayed it with cleaner, as well as cleaned the throttle body and IAC. The car has been running this way since I bought it though. I have The durametric, what values should I be looking at? Also, this doesn't occur during idle, I can clutch at a red light with no issues, it only occurs switching between gears. Thanks!
  15. So this is a little strange to me. When driving my 99 boxster without my air conditioner on, car drives great, press the clutch and put in neutral, and RPM goes down to just below the 800 Mark and is steady. With the A/C on, in any gear I'm in, and I press the clutch and hold (coming to a stop), the RPMs drop to around 400 rises back up to about 800 and begins hunting before the idle goes back to normal at just below 800 RPMs. Reading up wherever I could, it's sounds like a vacuum leak, but wouldn't that affect the car both when the A/C is on and when it is off? Also worth noting that when shifting gears with the A/C on, I have to give some gas as I'm clutching just so that when I release the clutch for the next gear, my RPMs are high enough. Essentially the RPMs are dropping way to quickly with the A/C on. Any help is appreciated, thanks. Avi
  16. Hey All! Great news, I bought a relay and it fixed my problem. Windows drop and convertible top works! I didn't think it was the relay but I got a good deal on a used one and I'm so happy it worked! Thank you all so much for your all of your help, couldn't have made it through this without you guys! Have a great weekend. With much thanks and gratitude, Avi
  17. Hey Loren, Would you happen to have a wiring diagram for the convertible top system? Thanks, Avi
  18. Thanks for the help Loren, you guys are all great! I will definitely follow up with what I find, I will probably end up taking it to the dealership sooner or later. With big thanks, Avi
  19. Thanks Loren, I'm definitely not looking to throw parts at it, I'm just hoping and searching for any way to troubleshoot myself.
  20. Hmm I really don't want to go back to the dealer as I just spent $1,200 with the alarm system and new key. Are there any other troubleshooting steps I can perform myself? Right now when I test the voltage on the 3 pin connector that connects to the latch I only get 4.5v. Like I wrote earlier, I failed step #8 on the relay test.
  21. I have a Durmateric, but it isn't giving me any faults, maybe I am using it incorrectly?
  22. Sorry Loren, I was just trying to get your attention ;) The alarm has been replaced and works at this point for lowering and raising the windows with the switches. The brake light does go on and off as it should.
