Hi Crwarren11 thanks for you reply, can you point me to a post that touches on troubleshooting fuel pump related stuff ? That would help a lot ! -
Hi there, I really need your help with my boxster 986. The seller informed me that this car won't start after sitting in the garage for 5 months. At first I thought it's the battery problem, so I replaced the battery. the engine will crank but no fire at all. Then after some research I found out it could be a CAMSHAFT or CRANKSHAFT sensor problem. Then I bought a scanner, found code P1397 which is a camshaft position sensor bank 2. Someone has mentioned on 986forum that a crankshaft position sensor could also throw a camshaft code, but I chose to go with camshaft sensor because that is what said on the scanner. I ordered an aftermarket camshaft sensor from pelican parts, and the part number is : 996-606-106-04-M18. After install the sensor, still no good. However, the tach now starts to move a little, and 1 out of 20 times it will fire up but then die immediately. so now everyone, should I go replace the Crankshaft sensor ? or what else should I consider? Could it be a fuel pump problem? Will replace the fuel pump relay help ? Thanks everyone in advance !! Troy
