Wheel noise: Time for brake job?
lucazuma replied to CA_Boxster's topic in 986 Boxster Suspension, Brakes, and Wheels
You're right. It's in the shop today for other things and in looking over the car they said there is still room left. I probably have another 6 months to go on the fronts. Thanks for the reply. On the other hand they came up with a cam cover oil leak so I'm getting a bill today regardless... ...so what was the sqweak? mine does the same :) -
car has 90k now... :drive: no, i didnt try to clean the FAM by my self...didnt want to mess around in a field i was not comfortable in... and yes, as you said, now i have a bunch of new parts that should last a good loooong time.... ps: had belt and tension barings(?) changed too...dont think there is much more to be changed now :D
-
....ok so for a followup... after extensive code downloading/reading and "try this, ride 52miles then try this, ride for 52 miles"...(which was done just to make sure i didnt have to spend the money on things i didnt relly need)...it all came down to: new oxygen sensors (all 4) new FAM new oil separator service done by OTTO in Venice (good man) care runs great now (it better :D ) but im a little light in the wallet... :(

...yes its MAF...i got messed up with my motocycles FIM and mixed them together :)

...thanks chris ill keep an eye on it and try to check iin the TB when i open the "hood " to attempt a FAM cleaning... i found an old thread on FAM DIY for C2 where Loren posted a scheme...i am trying to re-post the attachment but when i click "attach file" botton, the "add reply"one goes grey and cant post...tryed preview but notting hapenes... anyway, is the cheme pretty much the same? is a 20 torks all i will need to pull the FAM out?

...i live in malibu. Any one in the area feels like lending a hand?...i have plenty 'o beer in me fridge :cheers: Chris, car is not smokeing any more. It did EVERY time i turned on the engine for about 2 days. Cloud was pretty big but it would last just about the time for me to buckel up, turn a/c off, turn radio, lights and radar on... the parking structure got pretty "foggy" for a minute or so...no continuous cloud of smoke that engulfs my neighborhood...

...i de-snorkeled the car 1 month ago... thanks, i will do the research and ty to do it my self...will let you know (maybe take pictures) PS: is this something i could screw up really bad?...im not really tech savy so...if its something i could easily screw up pretty bad , id rather have someone with some professional knowledge do it for me... :D If any parts of the intake have been removed or modified start looking there. Look for loose or disconnected hoses etc. Buy a spray can of carburetor/fuel injector cleaner and clean the throttle body (do a search here as this has been covered many time). Buy some electrical contact cleaner and then remove and clean your MAF and re-install it. This has also been covered here many times - so do a search for the topic and it will give you information on the special tool for the MAF and the cleaning process.

...hmmm thanks Loren! the car ran great untill the light came on. There after the car idled high. Which one of these problems could cause a sudden modification of the idle?...or is it that the computer just reacts to the signal in that way? i think the second sounds more like it because when i cancelled the codes, the car idled fine BUT now every time i turn it on it smokes like hell...never didi it before... any ideas? thanks again :thumbup: luca ps: the device that i hooked up to the car gave a Po507 and saied "idle control system rpm high" is "idle air controll at stop-above limit" the same thing?

hey there you guys, this is my first post so please dont bash me down to hard :D i own a 2002 986 S with 88k on it... i read a lot of threads on codes and how to get them ( i did go to autozone and read my self the codes from an OB II)...thanks great info there! i got P1128 and P1130 which i have read here means that im running lean (not good) but i also got a P0507 that said idle control system RPM high in fact since the light came on the car has been running at 11oo at idle instead of usual 900... i have read about the white smoke thing when turning on engine (its normal some extra oil) but my car has never done it untill i cancelled the codes at autozone and fired up the engine... any relation between the two? should i be worried? and is there anything i coud do on my own to fix the P1128/30 and P0507? thanks in advance luca :D
