  1. Yes I have the same question. I would think our fellow Boxster lovers would be jumping on this!!
  2. Update! It was the Crankshaft position sensor. Runs and starts great.
  3. Yes Thanks! I was ready to try anything. I was very careful and I'm not an idiot so I did it and didn't ruin my engine - it just saved me time in my problem solving. The Rennshop has helped me determine that the Crankshaft Sensor is probably the culprit. I ordered one got it today and by tomarrow should know if it worked. thanks to pk2 and Carlos for their help
  4. Thanks PK2 - I tried the starter fluid and it will not fire. So I assumed it is electronic. I then spoke to "the man" at Rennshop and he is pretty sure it's the Crankshaft Position Sensor. Just ordered one should arrive Friday. I'll update then.
  5. I posted this on the DYI Forum - hope I can get some help here. My 1999 Boxster has started a weird behavior. When the car is warmed up, gage at 180, and I shut it down it will start no problem. If I wait for about a hour or so, allowing the temp gage to show about 150 or less, it will crank but not start. I must wait for it to cool to about 100 to get it to start. Here are the things I've done. 1) MY Duramatic is returning a 1324 code. (camshaft position) so I replaced the cam position sensor. 2) I've performed the electrical tests(from my Bentley) on the Relays in the trunk, checked all fuses etc. 3) I by- passed the relay for the fuel pump and the pump works fine. 4) I've checked for vaccum leaks. 5) I've replaced plugs and coils. 6) I took the MAF off and it didn't make any difference. 7) I cleaned the TB. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Mapguy
  6. It cranks but will not start when the temp (gage) is at 150 - 180. I just started the car cold and watched the temp go up to 180 on the gage and it just stalled.

  8. Believe it - I was struck with a chriping noise also, I first replaced the AOS and that took care of 50%. I then discovered I had a loose plug but only after I blew it out of the threads. I had to put a helicoil to repalce the damaged threads. Please check yoyr plug(s)
