Thanks, I'll take a look

Does anyone have a set of wiring diagrams for a 2002 996TT? I have them for 99-00 but cannot find any for the 2002.

Thanks everyone.

It is amazing how many mambers are on both forums.

I just remembered the AB light thing. If you are over 50, and I am, stuff happens to your memory :oops: .

When I read codes from the AB system I get "Current Fault Codes 0 module failed to initialize". The description is that either the module is not installed as an option in the car or that it has a bad connection. Has anyone heard of this? I do have the manual and will go through it tonight. I am inclined to pull the mudule out from under the seat and do a visual on it. It is a sealed unit so cracking it open is not an option.

I am in favor of the BFH right now.

That was me with the air bag, so yea I did laugh. My forehead is still sore from banging it on the wall. Yes to the battery disconnect question. All air bags are connected. No codes elsewhere unless "Current Fault Codes 0 module failed to initialize" qualifies. I see that on all modules except the DME. And the fuel pressure is no. Since the pump does not run, no pressure.

Keep em coming...

I just got through with a full rebuild on my 996. The IMS bearing and shaft self destructed causing the rebuild. After getting it all back together, I started the engine and ran it for 20 minutes. Several stops and starts later I backed it out of the garage revved it a few times to 3000 rpm and the CEL came on and the engine shutdown. Now it will turn over but will not start. Here are the facts:

It is a Tip so no clutch switch

Engine turns over will not fire

Battery is fully charged

The fuel pump does NOT prime when the switch is turned on

The fuel pump and relay are both good

I used a PIWIS and no codes are present

I can read the information from the DME

The Air Bag light blinks then stays on

Any ideas are appreciated.

Not that I would recommend such a conversion or endorse this source, but here is a link to an eBay auction for a package to do such a conversion.

I would have to agree with both postings. It looks like a complicated undertaking. If the Tip that I have were bad, I might consider it as a project, but it is not and I have a lot of other things that are more productive.

I have a 1999 911 996 with a Tiptronic transmission. I really like manual transmissions and I would like to know if anyone has replaced a Tiptronic with a 6 speed manual? It would be nice if someone else has done this and has any information.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
