    Here is a picture of my cam deviation post IMS bearing upgrade. Prior to the bearing replacement I had .60 degrees difference deviation between bank 1 and bank 2. Another improvement was the idle, it became smoother and it increased ~150 RPM.

    Glad you found the problem and got it fixed. Just to clarify, you can test the AOS by removing the oil fill cap while the engine is running, not the dipstick.

    What is your oil level... Is it well above the full mark? Have you had a chance to check your oil level? I wonder too much oil in the motor causes AOS failure??

    Have you tested your AOS? While the car is running and warmed-up remove the oil fill cap... Is the cap difficult to remove? Does the idle drop and motor almost die? If so, the AOS is bad. Also look at your gas cap seal, does it have cracks like the one in this picture?
  6. Jager
    As mentioned by Logray the cap is difficult to remove while the motor is running. Also after removing the oil fill cap the idle will drop and the motor will almost die if the AOS is bad (make sure the motor is warm when you run the test)... If the idle goes up the AOS is probably good.

    Why is it time to replace your catalytic converters?
  8. Jager
    No, what I see on the magnetic plug reminds me of graphite; it's very fine and would be very difficult to see (if captured) on the filter.

    White smoke or blue smoke?? Test your new AOS, maybe it's bad... Happened to me.

    It’s not a bad idea… I have the LN Engineering Bigfoot magnetic drain plug and it definitely gathers fine particles from the oil.

    Try 9520 Thanks Loren that was a good code. I have a 2001 Boxster with over 219,000 miles on it. I have owned the car since 2005 and perform most of the maintenance myself, this was the first time I have disconnected the battery. Thanks again. Jäger

    2001 Boxster CDR 220 Model # BE 4462 Serial # 15088358 Many thanks; your time is greatly appreciated. Jäger

    Clear you trouble codes with the Durametric, you may have created the P1128 and P1130 when you opened the oil fill cap testing for AOS issues. Jager

    100,000 mile club?? How about the 200,000 mile club? I have a 2001 Boxster 2.7 with 209,000 miles on it. It's my daily driver, I have owned this 986 since 2003. No major issues, I have replaced brakes, windshield, battery, water pump (at 204,000 miles), and many sets of tires. I don't track it but drive pretty hard, I like to hear those RPM's hit 6k but I don't care much for the speeding tickets. I change the oil every 3500 - 4000 miles, using Mobil 1 5W30. I believe it's important to get the car up to temp after start-up (10 minutes/miles) to ensure no water moisture remains in the oil system after shut-down. DRIVE THOSE BOXSTERS! Enjoy! Jager
