    Check your primary battery cables for voltage drop. These cars came with cables prone to internal corrosion which leads to sudden issue like this. You should not have a voltage drop of more than 0.5V on any cable; it it is higher the cable has to be replaced.

    Not likely.

    It doesn't have to be hot to get some idea of the compression, and I know of no electrical/electronic systems that would do this, it sounds mechanical...…………...

    Quick way to find out is to run a compression test...….

    You need to scan the car with a Porsche specific scan tool.
  6. JFP in PA
    Possibly...………..

    Me thinks you need a new wrench...…………………...

    I'd get the ARP bolts, they are better made.
  9. JFP in PA
    Probably the ignition switch.

    Bypassing a fuse and direct wiring high amp circuits is an invitation to burning the vehicle to the ground. You have wiring issues, which can be fixed, but going this route is asking from problems, and will impact either your ability to sell it or file an insurance claim should it burn.
  11. JFP in PA
    Possibly, and it is also possible that the arms were not the source of the actual problem.
  12. JFP in PA
    And the use on incorrect after market components that are ill fitting and short lived...……...

    Welcome to RennTech Check your serpentine belt and pulleys.
  14. JFP in PA
    Replace them. And out of curiosity, exactly why are you replacing the head gaskets??
  15. JFP in PA
    An automatic engine will not have a pilot bearing in the back of the crank as the torque converter does not need it, but one can easily be added for use with a manual trans.
  16. JFP in PA
    Not really.
  17. JFP in PA
    No, not at all normal.

    Simple: the hill holding system is slipping the clutch to hold the car in position. Rather than burning up the clutch, use your brake pedal and forget this system exists, or expect an early clutch replacement.

    I think the very first thing you need to familiarize yourself with is which engines and years will work in the car with the least grief. Different models and years had different fuel systems, different DME’s, some used CAN Bus communications, which your car does not have, different VarioCam systems, etc. etc. While a lot of engines will bolt in, the electronic and fuel system differences will turn the project into Frankenstein in a heart beat. Do your homework before buying anything.

    I don't believe the bolt is available separately, only in a complete cable. You may be able to find an aftermarket from someone like Dorman that would fit.

    Guys, enough with the weird work around Magiver repairs; if you cannot drill the bolt and remove it, you need to drill out the insert and install a new one, but this time put some antiseize on the fasteners and this will never happen again.

    TRW.

    P1502: Throttle jacking unit, spring test, above limit. Diagnostic conditions: Ignition on approx. 30 seconds. Stationary vehicle. Engine not running. Engine temperature greater than 5C. Intake air temperature greater than 5C. Possible fault causes: Throttle part. Diagnosis/troubleshooting: Replace throttle part. Erase fault memory. Perform adaptation: Switch on ignition. Wait one minute. Actuate accelerator pedal. Switch off ignition for at least 10 seconds. Read out fault memory.

    Looks like something has happened to your immobilizer under the driver's seat. I would start there.
  25. JFP in PA
    No, they are not "universal", Porsche used three totally different design bearings. The LN family of ceramic bearings (or IMS Solutions) covers every style Porsche used, but you need to start by knowing which one you need. None of them are interchangeable. Yours could be either a single or dual row style, but the only way to be absolutely sure is to take the car apart and look.
