    Not a book per se.. but as a Contributing Member here you can use the Retail Price Search feature here (on the Online Docs Menu) to look look up current MSRP for any part number. loren, i'm sure you hear this all the time, but, thank you very much for your help and all of the effort you put into running this board. take care, and have a great week. eric I have a CD which covers fairly recent prices . :P . [covers 996] Scott

    It is not one unit, they separate, if you look at the corner piece you will see some very small [what I call] shelf's which retains the corner piece. IMO - A clear corner piece on amber stock lights looks weird. You can try a light coat of window tint which looks okay .... Scott

    I told you you would end up going to the 00 MAF, there is a problem with some Boxster's and the 01 MAF without a patch being done. BTW - the reason you were running better with the wrong MAF, was due to the mixture probably giving the Boxster a more rich condition - thereby giving you more "pep". Due to our ECU Mapping, Porsche intentionally leans out our vehicles to meet federal smog standards. Porscheneer - did you get my e-mail about your hood latch. Scott

    Having your CEL light go out and then coming back on is only indicative of a problem. The only resolution is to have your code read and then to figure a viable resolution. Report back, I have bought a very good investment; the OBDII manual which will prove to be invaluable. My suggestion is to buy a copy for yourself and then be free to diagnose your own problems. The answers [many] are within it's borders. If you don't have a TIP don't bother with I. If you have a TIP I have friend with many... Scott

    Maybe a ball joint going bad, tough to do over the net. I would lift the front end off the floor and start the car and then move the wheel from side to side to figure it out, The problem with this method is unless there is a load on the vehicle you may not get the result your looking for, then load [lower] the vehicle and see if you can get it to do the same thing. If it is a P/S pump going bad you may have a screeching sound as the pump locks up and the belt cycles over it. One more thing, maybe drive in a empty parking lot until it happens then stop and check it out. Good Luck, Scott

    CV joints can sound similar to a bearing going out, due to them both being on the same shaft. The shaft telegraphs the sound. I believe you being such a good detective probably resolved your issue. Once your CV joint/boot grease is gone you then have a metal on metal sound. Scott

    You sure the code states [via OBDII] that your MAF is going bad. Off the top my head P101 is a bad MAF. Even then you need to check voltage before that assumption is made. Tool 9616 to pin it out. Scott

    Drive a car with it before you do it. Scott

    P1123 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 1 (Cylinders 1 - 3) - Lean Threshold. I would not assume this is an injector problem [there are specific injector codes.] Is it smoking excessively. Scott
  12. mrmickeymouse
    If you had a leaking injector you would almost pop a CEL. Scott

    It is better to see run your cap by a either a smog place to check it or find an aftermarket - it may be cheaper. Yes, the new caps have teethers but, I am not aware of the cap being the problem. Maybe TP knows if it was an esthetic change or a leakage change. I have not read any problems with caps in any other posts. I think it was a I want to be like the jonese's move. The TSB I told you about is probably closer to your problem. Scott

    It also could be your serpentine belt, I don't know the age of your vehicle or your maintenance schedule. It's worth checking, if you don't find it low - you will look for cracks and degradation. Scott

    Must be Pentosin but if it's low don't refill, find out why it's low. Scott
