  1. I have a '99 Carrera and I'm struggling here... I just replaced the gas filler vent valve and I was still having trouble filling. I did a search and read about re-installing the reed sensor. I pulled the fender liner and vent valve, but I can find the reed sensor anywhere. Where is the connector for the sensor? There are no loose wires anywhere to be found and I didn't tuck away or see anything dangling when I removed the original vent valve. I find this so strange.
  2. So, I cleaned the MAF as a preventative measure, changed the plugs and re-checked my coil connectors. The last 3 days there have been no misfire issues and no codes. Car has run smooth and powerful. Cross your fingers, but I think it's solved.
  3. Ha! I know exactly where it's at. I checked to see if it was tight. I'll give it a clean-up as well...
  4. I did check the coil connections this past weekend. Cleaned the connectors with contact cleaner and made sure they connected with a nice "click". Pulled the boots back to verify that the tab was locked in place. The original plugs were tight and looked good (nice color and correct gap), but I just picked up some Bosch FGR-6-KQE to replace them just to be sure. So my next step is to clean the MAF, replace the plugs, and R&R electrical connections associated with ignition.
  5. I've ordered the plugs and will change them out. They looked just about perfect for 7K plugs, but it can't hurt. I did research the fault codes and looked back at Misfire guide, but it pretty much tells me to look at what I already replaced (aside from the plugs). The new code was the MAF code and I plan on cleaning it this afternoon after I pick up a set of security torx bits. What does "signal implausible" refer to? You are right about the Durametric... I really need to spring for one, but I only have Apple hardware. They need to come up with an Ipad app!
  6. I have a '99 C2 with 67k mi. that I've had for about a year. The 60k service was completed by the PO. I had an initial cold start misfire problem which resulted in a CEL with codes P0300, P0301, and P0303. Obviously it would run rough and if I could nurse it through the misfires (approx. 30 sec), it would be fine the rest of the day. Smooth through the RPM range and no codes or start issues. I did some searching and ran through the misfire trouble shooting guide. The plugs look perfect, coil resistance within spec, but I found cracked coils, so I replaced all six. I cleaned all the connectors and made sure they all connected with a nice "click". I'm still getting misfire codes, but now they are P0102, P1316, P1313, P1319 and P0306. Blinking CEL. Again, this only happens during cold starts and if it gets throught the misfires, its fine until it cools down completely. I'm narrowing it down to injectors, crank sensor, and/or coolant sensor, so any insight/advice would be great. I only have an OBD-II reader, so my diagnostics are limited to the reader and a multi-meter. Since May, I've done the RMS/IMS, replaced clutch/PP (May), addressed AOS coolant hose leak (July), and replaced a bad ignition switch (Aug). It's all been pretty straight forward and simple, but this has got me stumped.
