  1. My 99 Boxster has over a period of six months been doing the same thing. When there is plenty of gas and the car is cold, it will start right away. I had to get the bendix motor lubed because of excessive cranking. I also replace the fuel relay switch and neither did any good. When the car has been running for ten to fifteen minutes, the car will not fire up, just cranks and then when it does eventually start, there is a strong fuel smell. Do you think it might be the same problem? And did you replace the fuel pump motor? :soapbox:
  2. Hi Guys I just thought I would add a note to say thanks for the help. turned ouot my Mass air flow senser was contaminated and that it was an inherant problem, especially in very wet conditions. Also my hose was completely deteriorated, which was causing the codes to pop up. By replacing the hose to the MAF It cured the engine light and the starting problem.
  3. Hi Loren, thank you for that information. Hopefully I have enough ammo in which to go into the dealer and solve my problem. The starting is becoming more difficult and requires several cranks on the starter. I also need to get the vehicle smogged this year in California, so I am guessing I have an emissions problem? I also plan on putting a different exhaust system on the car, probably the gemballa back end. Will I need to make adjustments to the emissions if i do that? signed by, one real neophite to mechanics :drive:
  4. Thanks for the reply. Yes the sound is heard upon first starting the car and when I had one of my mechanics at my work reset the light, it stayed off for about a day and a half then came back on. My biggest problem right now is wondering if I am doing any long term damage by driving the car with the light constantly on?
  5. :help: Hi there, I just stumbled accross this site looking for information on fault codes. I had a friend who checked my car out with a new computer and instructed me that the fault codes that showed up on my check engine light were a P0410 and a P1411. The latter being a secondary air unit? I called my local Porsche dealer and they were not able to tell me what the codes are and wanted me to bring in the vehicle to determine what is wrong! I know that the vehicle has a problem sometimes starting on the first crank, especially if there is not alot of fuel in the car and also if the car has been run for a while. It takes several cranks and a bit of playing with the throttle to start it. Can anyone help identify my problem ?
