  1. No I hadn't and thanks for the link. I will investigate them and try to determine the most cost effective route. I still would like to get more information about a plug and play solution as well . I am in British Colmbia, Canada so I have to factor in things such as duty and shipping costs. Thanks again for your response.
  2. I have an '02 996 cab. The car has relatively low mileage but apparently one of the cylinders is scored. There seems to be no local solution to repairing the damage and given the low value of the car it seems reasonable to try to find a used drop-in engine.What model years or engine series will drop in without modification? Also can anyone point me to a reliable souce where I might find a used or rebuilt engine? Thanks for any suggestions or assistance.
  3. I called the dealer.Service manager is sending me a MAF.Thanks for all of the advice,Loren.
  4. Loren,You were correct , I screwed up the fault codes.Will I do damage to the engine if I attempt to drive to the dealer,some 300+ miles away with fault codes 360/361 showing?
  5. Sorry Loren I am confused.When I look up the engine codes for the DME 7.8 per the Quick Menu, OBD II P-code P0172 states oxygen sensing adaptation Idle range,bank 1-below limit and P0172 is the same except for bank1.
  6. Thanks for the input .There might be a slightly rougher idle...very imperceptible but the engine appears to run fine at higher rpms.the smoke is somewhat bluish and strong smelling but not really an oil smell.Of course running mobil 0. by the way the actual codes are p0172 and p0175 which seem to be fault codes 360 and 361 respectively ,indicating idle range banks 1 and 2 below limit. I believe you are mistaken... From the DME service manual: P1128 (DTC 360) Oxygen Sensing Adaptation, Idle Range, Bank 1 - Below Limit Possible fault causes: - Incorrect signal from MAF sensor - Intake air system leaking - Fuel pressure too low - Volume supply of fuel pump too low - Fuel injectors fouled - PCV valve leaks - Cap of oil filler neck not closed correctly or seal is damaged P1130 (DTC 361) Oxygen Sensing Adaptation, Idle Range, Bank 2 - Below Limit Possible fault causes: - Incorrect signal from MAF sensor - Fuel pressure too high - Fuel injector leaking - EVAP canister purge valve open Thanks Loren.I will recheck ... but how does P0172 /P0175 differ from P1128/ P1130 referencing Oxygen sensing adaptation,etc.?

  9. I am a newbie to this site ...but not to Porsche. The CEL on my 2002 C2 cab came on. Durometric shows fault codes 360 and 361....oxygen sensing adaptation.Re-set light but it came on again after a few days.Car sporadically emits unbelievable amount of smoke at start up,which dissappears in a minute or so. I have read the various posts re smoke on start-up. Could malfunctioning oxygen sensors contibute to the smoke? My read of other posts seems to indicate that even though the oxgen sensors code appears that doesnt mean that they may be the source of the problem.Looks beyond my abilities to address. Would it be foolish to attempt to drive the car to the dealer,some 300 miles away?Or should I simply have it trucked there? This site is truly amazing and reaffirms that driving a Porsche is more than an individual experience. Thanks so much
