    You haven't mentioned two items: removing and testing the valve itself and testing the triggering wire back to the DME pin for continuity.
  2. JFP in PA
    Slot #1 in the trunk, but if you have power at the valve harness connector, it should be working.
  3. JFP in PA
    According to the wiring diagram in the OBD II manual for your car, the valve should have two wires, #2 that receives a power signal from the DME relay terminal 87; and the #1 wire that runs to the DME terminal #7 (the DME supplies the valve's ground when it needs to run). I do not have the color codes for those two wires. Have you checked the valve to see if it functions? Unplug the harness connector at the valve, there should be a 22-26 ohm between pins 1 and 2 on the valve, and you should see battery voltage on the wiring harness connector pin #1.
  4. JFP in PA
    The code read out is as stated: "Open circuit, check valve voltage supply, check valve for function, check trigger wire for continuity"
  5. JFP in PA
    That is possible, but would throw a different code if it was Your code is an electrical issue.
  6. JFP in PA
    When you do, check that the valve has electrical power before doing anything. If there is something wring with the wiring, changing the valve will get you nothing.

    No, it is located at the EVAP system cannister in the wheel well (item #6): And don't buy from pelican, use board sponsor Sunset Porsche

    Welcome to RennTech P0306 is a misfire on cylinder #6 P0447 indicates an open circuit (disconnected electrically) on the EVAP cannister shut off valve. Possible wiring issue or valve itself. P1318 also indicates a misfire on cylinder #6
  9. JFP in PA
    Welcome to RennTech Iam not aware of any such item.
  10. JFP in PA
    There are multiple aftermarket top suppliers that make glass window replacement tops that fit the earlier cars, but they have a smaller rear window because of the differences in the mechanical mechanisms.
  11. JFP in PA
    If the top has a glass rear window, the answer is no; if it is plastic, the answer is yes. The glass window tops used a mechanical top system that has one extra metsl bow to accommodate the glass window.
  12. JFP in PA
    It really isn't necessary, but you can do it using a product called Fogging Oil:
  13. JFP in PA
    Time to run a parasitic drain test, which has been written up multiple times, but there are also a ton of online videos : . Basically, after the car has been sitting for about an hour or so, there should be a 45 - 60 milliamp current drain on the battery from necessary things like the clock and the alarm system; any higher than that and you have a parasitic drain on one or more of the electrical circuits.
  14. JFP in PA
    Loren showed you a section of the exploded parts diagram for the vehicle, which you can find on multiple public websites such as board sponsor Sunset Porsche.

    Passengers side footwell.

    According to Porsche, item #24 in the pillar is the "antenna booster", while the item you posted the photos of is item #27 is the "Antenna Diversity Control Unit" for the PCM navigation
  17. JFP in PA
    Ever think it could be the ignition switch? The antenna amplifier is located on the right A-pillar, behind the trim which is easy to remove
  18. JFP in PA
    As the codes seem random, I would start by looking at the fuel trims and MAF signals.
  19. JFP in PA
    Welcome to RennTech Without the actual codes the car is throwing, anything would be a guess.

    Welcome to RennTech

    Or whomever did the replacement did not torque the new units with the car sitting on its wheels.
  22. JFP in PA
    When looking at the lower pulley on the front of the engine, which direction did you attempt to turn it, clockwise or counterclockwise?
  23. JFP in PA
    Welcome to RennTech You have a potentially major issue here; if the crank cannot be turned by hand with a wrench, either the engine is seized, or something is mechanically jamming the rotating assembly (are you sure the trans is out of gear?). If the trans was in neutral, you need to do further diagnostics into why it won't rotate, which could get into serious disassembly, including dropping the engine out. In almost any permutation as to why this is happening, you are looking at some serious $, and trying to force it to rotate will only worsen the situation. Good luck.
  24. JFP in PA
    Sometimes you simply have to go with the factory system due to what Porsche sees as "proprietary". Glad you got it sorted 👍
  25. JFP in PA
    Depends upon why the compressor failed, and what it damaged in the process. At a minimum, the drier, and if metal is present, the expansion valve (after the system is properly flushed to remove the metal). You will also need the correct PAG oil for the new compressor.
