    sorry for taking so long to reply I have been away from PC. I did not swap out the DME because I had no key and alarm module from the other car only the ECU. I am going to swap out DME for a 3.6 with matching alarm module and key and see what goes from their. I did find out my mistakes of trying to swap soft ware maps I have been informed this cannot be done because the memory on a 3.6 DME has a bigger capacity then the 3.4 DME hence soft ware swap would not have worked 100% as not enough memory. I will read that article you sent a link to with great interest and see if I can figure out where I am going wrong.

    hi I am reading this with great interest. I too have a 996 C2 2001 year sitting in my friends work shop which has undergone this conversion. History is the car a 2001 996 C2 had blown engine the car had egas pedal and was a manual. The car had a 3.6 C4 manual engine transplanted into it. The car would not start initially then we copied the software from the donar cars ecu the 3.6 ecu soft ware was copied and placed onto the 3.4 DME. This was done but I feel maybe all the soft ware was not carried across because the 3.4 DME has less memory then the 3.6 DME. the problem I am at is the car starts and drives fine up until it reaches 60 mph it seems really slow getting past the 60 mph speed and slowly makes progress to 70 mph. I do want to finish this project off and would like some input from any one who has some more knowledge on the topic.

    My KTS card is fine. I did notice that the pins on. The dongle supplied by sense has only 5 pins being used Pins 6,7,10,12,13 are used on sense plug . I know this is not the correct amount as looking at the diagnostic plug on a 964 it uses more then 5 pins
  4. cbr786
    Arrr yes I am using the Canadian supplied sense solutions adapter not the Chinese one which seems to utilise all the pins lol. I guess I will attempt to wire knock & TD sensor wires up as well as I have a cheap Chinese spare I bought earlier which was useless as a disection subject. If the sense solutions are good copies & I am using genuine pst2 lead I still don't understand why I cannot read abs ? Also something else weird happens on some scans it picks up Airconditioning when it has faults stores & on other occasions it misses it completely but always manages to pick up DME & airbag modules with out fail

    Oops made mistake using iphone to reply & re-posted Richards post. I have conflicting opinions on this topic. Some people say only C4 1989 + models abs can be read by pst2 tester. & 1989-1991 C2 models cannot be read. I know in Adrians book he mentions something along the lines of using a special tool to plug direct into where the abs harness attaches to the abs ecu. Some sort of led device. I am gonna investigate to see if my K&L lines are being used properly on my adapter. I still wish to resolve this issue as it gets to me when something is not functioning correctly lol. On a lighter side I fixed my abs issue turned out two abs sensors where not seated into their respective harness bunch plugs. I found this information out by using volt meter at abs ecu checking pins for resistance measurements for each sensor. Thank you both posters for chiming in on this topic as i posted the same topic on Rennlist & no replies.

    PLUS ONE ON THAT my friends car had same issue we used PST2 tester to check if key giving out signal it was LED was lighting up as well and turned out to be cracked PCB where the chip is soldered to the board some legs of the chip come away. need electronics specialist car stereo repair shop or some one like that to have a look .

    hello folks trying to solve ABS issues on a 964 1990 C2 manual cab. I get anti lock light come on after the car reaches 5-10mph with the buzzer sounding off as well. My question is this an a PST2 tester read the ABS module on a 1990 C2 ?? I think it cannot I believe the C4 ABS module can be read by a Porsche tester but the C2 cannot. The only way to read faults in C2 is possibly with hammer? or the ABS LED tool that plugs directly into the place where the ABS brain/ECU resides. it is annoying as I read that if a wheel speed sensor is faulty and you repair replace that wheel sensor the ABS has to be reset before fault clears or can you simply disconnect the battery to clear all fault codes?? any help would appreciated. Currently when I scan the 964 with a PST2 the DME,AIRCONDITIONING,AIRBAG are the only modules that highlight up as readable the remaining tiptronic,abs 5,& alarm module remain unlit ?? I understand the fact the tiptronic module will not light up as my car is manual, also the alarm module will not light up prehaps because the 1990 had a simple relay sort of factory alarm without the alarm ECU under the passenger seat. What I dont understand is why ABS is not highlighting? Maybe Loren can chime in and explain many thanks in advance.

    okay maybe my question was so dumb it did not warrant a response lol update the 986 Boxster part number key I got from ebay works fine with me 996 C4 Tip 1999 convertible , Once I obtained the Ipas codes it was very straight forward . I would like to add the only difference on the boxster key is that the second button has a diagram of opening the luggage compartment . However on my original key the second button was to activate the hood to make it open & close. The boxster key second button although the pic is wrong it still makes the hood go up & down. so all is well now to find some time so I can tinker with the 964 C2 cab so many mods to do.

    need help in figuring out would this key program up and work on a 1999 996 C4 Tip convertible ? The Key part number is 986.637.243.03 .The key is brand new with the remote programming bar code attached. My question is it is a two button remote fob for Porsche Boxster 986 part number ? But surely it should also work for a cab 996 the two buttons must be lock and soft top control ? any advice would be appreciated...
  11. cbr786
    Hi Loren would that be the service work shop CD for 996 porsche or the service manual for the PST2 ? also where does one obtain this manual ? many thanks Zak
  12. cbr786
    Hello folks , Does any one on here have the know how and can guide me step by step instructions on how to program a new key to a 996 using the PST2 Tester ? I have new key fob with bar codes on it and I have the Ipas codes for my car but need idiot safe instructions on where to go in the PST2 menu to do this task. many thanks

    IN the UK you can show them written proof of ownership take the queen with you and your car and they still wont give out Ipas codes so unfair I might try Porsche UK head office maybe they can help. I just dont understand the information relates to my car I am the owner have proof yet they still refuse to give out Ipas codes its handy even if you want to reset your ECU back to stock you still need Ipas info. I was hoping if I faxed the info to some one over the pond they could help me out.
  15. cbr786
    can any one help getting ipas codes for a 996 I have the paper work but in the UK the OPC wont give out that information reading on the forums people over the pond seem to get them fairly easy its not fair !!! I need to make a key and finding it really hard have access to a PST2 tester but need learning codes ? any help any one?...

    Okay no input on this ... I have aquired a PST2 cable and in the process of making several spares as I have 3 KTS500 cards which I will manupliate into laptops to make laptop based PST2 systems which I will sell on evil bay to recoup my costs so I will keep one for my self and sell the other two fully working PST2 laptop based kits .. IN the end I had to but a PST2 cable cost me $220 just for the cable the kts cards go for a further $300 then once its all singing and dancing on laptop the whole kit should sell for $800 to $1200 depending how cheap I can get a useable laptop

    Hi everybody I was wondering particulary Loren as I know he has a PST2 tester if some one can shed light on how to DIY a cable. I need to know the website that sells the end connectors for the KTS500 Bosch card and the connector for 16 pin ODB port also the pins schematics so I know what wire to solder to what pin in making this lead up. I think the odb end should be straight forward but its the KTS500 card end thats confusing. any help would be appreciated I have genuine PST2 tester and a green KTS500 Bosch card running inside the pmcia slot. It all is good except now need a cable any help would be appreciated .. I know if I had access to a cable opening up the ends and taking pictures will shed light on whats what etc as wires will hopefully be colour coded..
  18. cbr786
    hi managed to get my hands on a genuine PST2 but it has no cables with it ? does any one one know of web site or supplier where I can buy replacement cables ? apparently I have been told that the adapter cable for 964 is not the same as the one supplied with durametric...kits.. hence I need both cables as I have a 964 C2 that I am restoring along with my daily driver a 996 C4 any help on the subject would be appreciated Zak UK

    hello all I was wondering if the button switch that raises and lowers the soft top on porsche 964 and 993 are the same ? and if they are the same are they located in the same place under the dash clocks on both models ? I have a problem my toggle rocker switch is well worn and I have seen a 993 switch advertised at a breakers in mint condition but not sure if it will fit a 1990 964 C2 convertible. the switch part number on the one advertised is :993 613 121 00 I do not know the part number on my switch as I have not removed it as the car is in storage . any help on the topic would be appreciated maybe some one can cross reference these switches ? many thanks Zak

    hello everyone i know this topic has been covered many times ... bu the reasons have not . why are these header tanks prone to leaking ? bad design ? or is it because its old now ? sone people on here have bought new bottle and it has leaked again with in a few mths ? is it because the car is running abnormally hot also could be due to exra pressure build up in the expansion bottle and the bleed valve not working correctly thus causing rupture in tank weld seam ? or is it due to the old style cap on the bottle ending with 00 ? would it be stupid to replace with a good used unit that I have lying around but has really old part number on it 996 106 147 54 ? is it wise to change cap as well for a new one when I change header tank for a new cap ? the one with the old part number is still white and the plastic has not yellowed, unlike the one on my car which ends with 55 part number and the lastest one now with OPC is ending with 56 part number they keep changing them ? also I think it would be alot easier to refit this bottle with the engine lowered slightly even on a 1999 C4 car the bottle is too big to squeeze into that cavity causing pressure on surounding items like plenium camber etc especially the bit that juts out for the fuel filter to sit on ... your comments are appreciated ...
  21. cbr786
    HI try checking your tyres are they all the right tyre pressure also are they the correct profiles and sizes all round ? also check the tread wear dept if one tyre has 8mm thread and the other has 2mm for example can cause havoc with the tip tranny settings and can cause the box to play up I know it happened to me ...the front tyres are best changed in pairs with the same brand tyre type ...thread pattern etc

    i have fabspeed muffler bypass system sounds like an old land rover v8 utube it and see for your self the comparison lol I think I will take them off and put some other exaust on as the fabspeed sound is a bit too loud .... and I dont want people comparing the sund to an old land rover ha ha

    my car is a 99 C4 cab tip and I am in the UK when I sit in heavy traffic car idle-ing for 15 mins or more my temp haq display reads 104C as well and it sits thier at that reading ??? I know water boils at 100 but antifreeze coolant mix and water should take the boiling point higher right? .... I know once the traffic eases and i can move a little say do 30 - 40 mph the temp haq goes back to 90c i was thinking of installing the fan haq via a switch on the dash so the fans can come on when I want them to also being a C4 tip it automatically has the third rad ...

    FUEL Pump relay stickin ? just throwing the obvious ....
  25. cbr786
    think I cracked this one as well all 964 cabs get water inside them at some point this fact even if it is dry stored when you wash the car some water ingress is invetible any hows passenger front footwell you have the main wiring loom going to the ECU this loom bends at a roughly 90 degrees angle at the corner of the footwell where it proceeds up the bulk head along the top scuttle wiper motor area to the fuse box ... the exact route I am not too sure on as this is guess work but where it bends say 45 to 90 degrees on the floor along the sill area and front bulk head is a water prone area i.e if the foot well gets wet that area will accumulate water this inturn can over time cause the loom to get damage and even a short break in one of the wires can cause an implausable signal ... etc so I think after I have carried out test for breaks in this loom I should have sorted it .... will update in 28 days this is how long it sometimes takes me on my project cars lol .... I just dont get the time to work on them ... I guess if the 996 C4 Cab was not about I would have got the 964 sorted by now ...
