    Use distilled water not hose water btw.

    If you dont have the time to make the engine run well, take the 02 engine out and sell it. Buy a 99-01 engine, A correctly opperating 02 engine in a earlier car should increase the value since higher HP/TQ. I'm guessing you have an engine harness from the 02 engine. No idea if those pinouts match the body harness of the 99 DME.....worst case the engine harness catches fire. Best case nothing happens...... Any idea on the engine harness, fuel rails, injectors etc? What is 02 and what is 99? Do you have access to PIWIS?
  3. 987_RDC
    CAN bus is just two wire communication so add the pins+wires with swapping the instrument cluster and HVAC. (repin the 99 harness to the 02 cluster) Fuel sytem can be converted to returnless by swapping the complete pump but you need a fuel pump pigtail to add the lines for DME 7.8 control. (should have 02 fuel rails on the newer engine) Already noted was the e-Gas pedal swap and issues with needing 02+ DME/immobo combo (or at min the VIN from each and good friends at the dealership)
  4. 987_RDC
    Rewiring the body harness to mate with the 02+ engine harness could work. Other things would need to be swapped also (Dash cluster, HVAC, gas pedal and fuel pump) which might make it not worthwhile.... I had colected a bunch of the swap parts planning to do something similar. I decided the time required wouldn't be worth it. PM me if you need some parts.
  5. 987_RDC
    Not good. In the end you are likely going to have to use a PIWIS to run a re-calibration anyways. So I would recommend going to a dealer to have them reset the process correctly.
  6. 987_RDC
    I think the OP is missing parts from his LN puller.
  7. 987_RDC
    So the IMS bearing has a bolt through it. I don't see why the bolt would be any different than the LN one. But if so, just weld two nuts together that have the proper threading. BOOM translation unit for the IMS bolt to threading on the LN puller.
  8. 987_RDC
    PM sent. I have IPD plenum and also Fabspeed intake for sale for 996.
  9. 987_RDC
    Glad that worked. Now it needs to have calibration sequence run on PIWIS.
  10. 987_RDC
    Perhaps tighten the portion on the clamshell motor that it a clutch to the clamshell. Accessable behind rear seats. Shouldn't be so tight that system binds or so loose that doesn't grab. I forget the exact number of turns. Can you tell if the clamshell motor is "requested" to close the shell? If not then perhaps the canvas hook sensor isn't activating. Common problem, search a thread I did on repairing top opperation. Threw in a few pics of my issues, I had like 3-4 on my 1999.
  11. 987_RDC
    From what I have read, the opinion on the threads was that DSP retrofit isn't worth the time/cost. (unless you can get parts for free) But it seems simple enough, just need to add the DSP and matching amp. (DSP doesn't function without proper amp) There are a few wiring diagrams online to help. files "my99_dsp" and "my99_dsp_2" and "my03_bose" are what I have found.
  12. 987_RDC
    Well if there is truly no fault then the light wouldn't return with the battery reset, no?
  13. 987_RDC
    You try removing the battery ground for 10 min?
  14. 987_RDC
    Someone else mentioned it may be possible to "fake" the 9516 tester with a 2.9 ohm resistor. Their logic was that the bag itself has a similar ohm value. Of course disconnect battery and wait 10 min before removing airbag.
  15. 987_RDC
    Perhaps the oil from the RMS is getting onto the clutch surface and creating slip? Get the IMS/RMS replaced at a indy.
  16. 987_RDC
    I thought the boost spring had to do with assiting pressing the clutch down? I had this symtom and did a bleeding of the clutch slave to resolve. Brief How-to: Hold clutch down w/ broom handle and using power seat. Use Motive bleeder on brake fluid reservoir to pressurize. Loosen bleed valve on top of transmission for slave cylinder to bleed old fluid and then close. Manually lift clutch pedal slowly. Top up brake fluid with proper DOT4.

    I have a set of after hours exhaust for 996 that has same performance as straight pipes but less drone. Send me a PM.
  18. 987_RDC
    So in other words....lawyers win again?

    I've had no issues with my Tooki once I reflashed it to the "cold weather boot" FW. Never errors.
  21. 987_RDC
    Wow there is actually someone at the parts in Steven's Creek? I never get a call back or email reply.....
  22. 987_RDC
    Fremont Porsche seems to have the best pricing in Bay Area. Scott is a big help.
  23. 987_RDC
    Glad you found the solution. Anyone needing a replacement HVAC for 02+ let me know. I have a spare.
  24. 987_RDC
    Have you confirmed under the car that the cables are properly secured to the transmission? It is possible the "locking" prongs on the shifter cables have come undone or loose.
  25. 987_RDC
    Palo Alto Speedometer (in CA) can repair the unit also.
