Forgive me, but I have autism and sometimes don't understand things clearly. Are you saying that you think it is an AOS issue?
-
The other day, while the car was running, I took the oil cap off. It was easy to remove, but the car sounded like it wanted to die. It didn't, but it was close. AOS issue, maybe?
-
I’m close to using up that first tank. I had the throttle body cleaned and the idle fluctuation seems to be a little better, but it’s still noticeable. As for the AOS, I’m able to remove the oil cap while the engine’s running with no problem (I’ve heard that’s a good thing). I’m still learning. I’ll actually be taking the car to a retired Porsche mechanic in a few weeks for my 60K service. I have a list of other things ready, believe me. Thanks for all the advice.

Thank you. I'm actually planning to take it to my mechanic next week to have him look at the throttle body. I'd do it myself but I'm not mechanically inclined. What about mixing the Swepco with the Red Line? Any thoughts on that? Thank you so much, Maurice.

986 Boxster MY99 55K miles Hello. I'm having some idle and rough-running issues. As my car is sitting in traffic, the idle fluctuates just a bit between 800-1000 rpm. Not a big deal as far as I know. Might it be a dirty throttle body? I recently had a tuneup completed: new plugs, filters, etc. I also recently added Red Line's fuel system cleaner and since then, my car seems as though it doesn't run as well as before. I've heard others say it's a good idea to change your oil soon after adding cleaner, but my mechanic said that it's unnecessary. I just find it odd that the car runs worse AFTER adding the cleaner. Finally - and please pardon my ignorance - I also have a bottle of Swepco 503 cleaner. Would it be unnecessary - or even dangerous - to add that as well, considering that I just added the Red Line? I've been trying to educated myself as much as possible about my new toy, but I obviously have a long way to go. Many thanks for any suggestions.

Keyfob Battery Replacement
Lee Timmer replied to Lee Timmer's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Thanks for that. I know that may have looked like a stupid question, but I've discovered there's rarely anything easy when dealing with Porsche. Thanks again. -
Hello. I recently purchased a '99 Boxster, and I've been doing all the research I can. I have a keyfob that unlocks the doors and the trunk. I keep seeing posts about codes needed. Do I need to go to a Porsche dealership if I just need to replace the battery? The nearest dealership is 200 miles away. Thanks in advance.
