    One more question are you able to just replace the connection point on the cables? The piece that actually pops onto the ball point on the transmission.
  2. SLC911
    Sorry for the late response. The cable retaining clips do not seem to be keeping the cable in its keeper.

    Howdy Everyone, I just completed a clutch kit replacement (clutch disk, pressure plate). After getting everything installed everything seemed to work great until reverse stops working. I climb under disconnect the linkage and reattach it and it will works fine for a few minutes. A few miles down the road it stops working again. When I put in the reverse gear its like first gear or its just not letting me get all the way over but it sure looks like when looking at the shifter. I can repeat this process several times with the same results. So here I am pinging all those great minds on here for help or suggestions.. Fire away with any questions you may have to help troubleshoot.. Transmission was lowered on a tranny jack sat there and was raised back into position. 2002 Carrera 3.6 6 Speed

    OK OK rookie mistake... C2 FUSE sorry everyone for being a DA Thanks for all the ideas and advice. Now on to bleeding the clutch.

    Is there any wires on the left side harness that would control firing of the motor? I thought most was on the right side harness.
  6. SLC911
    Another thing was I turned the crank while putting the serpentine belt on. Would that change timing?

    The idiot light is a thermometer temperature display with the words "failure indicator" I did a quick shot is starting fluid it acted like it wanted to fire but didn't. Not sure where that leaves me.

    Where is this coolant temp sensor located? How many MAF sensors are there, I thought just the one that goes into the air box? There are 4 bolts and one electrical connection to the throttle body.
  9. SLC911
    Can you explain a little more as to the harness issue? There was a short caused by the license plate light wires. It melted wires through the harness, that I fixed by splicing. Which brings up the question of if the O2 sensors are not connected properly would that prevent the car from firing? :huh:

    2002 996 Carrera 3.6L I dropped the engine/tranny. I needed to fix an oil fill tube and a rear left side wire harness issue. Car ran before the work. I now have the engine/tranny back in the car. I dont have the transaxles hooked up or the clutch bleed. The rear of the car is still up on stands. I wanted to try and start the car before reassembling everything. Well the car turns over but will not fire. The only idiot light that comes up on the dash is a temp sensor failure or something like that. I went back through the book and I seem to have everything hooked up. I know a motor needs four things to fire air, fuel, spark and compression. The fuel pump can be heard upon turning the key on. I get fuel to the connection on the top left side of the motor. The air box is removed. One thing I havent checked was spark. The spark plugs where change less than a month ago and it ran before. I dont recall removing anything that would remove the spark. Is there a connection at someplace that removes that from the coils that I could have disconnected.(I will check spark tomorrow). Sorry guys I am really searching here. Not sure what exact info you all would need. The car has been sitting for about 3 weeks no fuel or power. Any suggestions onthungs to look for or try would be very helpful. Ask for any info you may need and ill do my best to provide it. Thanks.

    Well digging into it the burn seems to go back behind the radiator overflow further then I can reach. So now starts the process of engine and transmission removal. Something that has needed to be done anyway. Now I can replace and clean those things that need it. This will be my first time doing the engine removal. :eek:

    Porsche only made very large sections the main harness system as one piece, and those large sections tend to be very expensive as well as time consuming to replace. What problem(s) are you trying to solve by replacing it? It appears that I had a short and melted the harness. This is in the back of the engine compartment.

    Does anyone have any information of how or if its possible to replace the left rear engine compartment wire harness? This harness in the engine compartment plugs into the left side 02 sensors, lid release and license plate lights. Looking at the schematic it shows one complete harness.. :cursing: :help: Anyone ever have to replace this? Any ideas on how to replace
  15. SLC911
    Nevermind Just found some info from a forum search.
  16. SLC911
    Does anyone have any experience with this company? I am looking to purchase some new heads, with their port and polish work done. Looking for some feed back, Thanks in advance
  17. SLC911
    Check your fuses. I had similar issues and it was a blown fuse.
  18. SLC911
    None of that work has been done to the car. So how it happened I still do not know.
  19. SLC911
    Picked up the part today. Ahsai it was the second one the brown one. the greens go on the other side of the camshaft head (towards the front of the car) brown goes in the rear. FYI, they are metal coated with something.
  20. SLC911
    Thanks again Ahsai!. What would have been the harm of it being driven after these happened? :cursing: It should create a major oil leak, with everything that entails. A larger question would be why it happened in the first place, these plugs simply do not fall out on their own.............. That sir is the real question. I do not know what would be the cause. I was at the track autocrossing, did a 360 and did not hit anything. Thats when this all happened. The oil pressure and levels dropped but not to significant levels. There were no alarms or CEL indications. It was drove off the track and retired for the day :( They are metal are they not? So I really don't know how or why it came out.

  22. SLC911
    Excellent Thanks Ahsai! Is this just a screw in lid and is there a compound that accompanies it?
  23. SLC911
    I lost some sort of cap today and its leaking oil. I am not sure what its on, but here is a picture. I am hoping someone can tell me what it is so i can order a replacement. Any help is greatly appreciated. :thumbup: Its located up on the right rear facing the rear bumper/ cats etc.

    Here is the alignment sheet they gave me. Hopefully someone call explain the above tire problem and what this shows me. Are the adjustments they made going to help or do I need to take it to a dealership for a better alignment? :unsure:
  25. SLC911
    To the best of my knowledge all suspension is stock. I never did get to measure the car height before stopping at the tire store.
