    That I do not know; the difference between the set we use and the 45750 is ours has all the adaptors while the 45750 only comes with six. You might want to check with Lise to see if the smaller set has the correct adaptor, or if you can purchase it separately (I know they do sell them singularly).
  2. JFP in PA
    I like the Lisle system, Amazon sell them, but you may also be able borrow one from an auto parts store:
  3. JFP in PA
    Up front, you need to know this is a discontinued (Consumer Reports; https://www.consumerreports.org/products/ultra-high-performance-all-season-tire/bridgestone-potenza-re980as-397609/overview/) and superseded tire model, which means if down the road you needed to replace one or more, you may not be able to find them in your car's sizes. They were also known for being very noisy in customer reviews, which is probably why they were replaced.

    The second, or trigger wire, runs from pin #1 on the valve to terminal pin #7 at the DME.
  5. JFP in PA
    The trigger wire runs from the valve to the DME, the wire from the relay simply supplies power.
  6. JFP in PA
    Have you tested the fuel pressure and delivery rates? Problems in that area will make the car run like crap and not throw codes.................
  7. JFP in PA
    You haven't mentioned two items: removing and testing the valve itself and testing the triggering wire back to the DME pin for continuity.
  8. JFP in PA
    Slot #1 in the trunk, but if you have power at the valve harness connector, it should be working.
  9. 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.
  10. 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"
  11. JFP in PA
    That is possible, but would throw a different code if it was Your code is an electrical issue.
  12. 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.
  13. JFP in PA
    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
  15. JFP in PA
    Welcome to RennTech Iam not aware of any such item.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. JFP in PA
    It really isn't necessary, but you can do it using a product called Fogging Oil:
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. JFP in PA
    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
  23. 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
  24. JFP in PA
    As the codes seem random, I would start by looking at the fuel trims and MAF signals.
  25. JFP in PA
    Welcome to RennTech Without the actual codes the car is throwing, anything would be a guess.
