Problem solved, opened the shifter and removed the cables and checked the bushing some dirt was there so I cleaned it and reconnected the cables done the adjustment and every things went normal.

Hi I'm facing issue with my manual transmission it won't engage 1st or reverse. it all happened when I was accelerating fast from 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear and at the traffic light I noticed that the gear shift knob tilted to the lift when not engaged at any gear and when I tried to engage the 1st gear it was going to the 3rd and when I tried to engage reveres simply it won't go. So I pulled the centre console off the car so I could look into it. the cables seams to be in good shape but the bushing I'm not sure about it. so what could be the problem? Many thanks

Both are cylinder misfire codes, pointing to the #6 cylinder. Check the coil pack connections on that cylinder, and pull the plug and look at it. I will check that because I have a misfire on that cylinder and I drove that car for a bit long before I put it in the shop for changing the ignition coils, could it be the spark plug needs to be changed? also the dealer says that it might be from the fuel injectors or the fuel pump...could it be? Could be a bad plug, or even just a loose coil pack connector. A bad fuel pump would impact more than one cylinder, and a bad injector should show up in the fuel air mixture data and throw a different code. Thanks for clarifying this point. I will check the coils connection and the plugs. many thanks.

I've got the codes... P0300 - Misfire detection (total) (exceeds limit value) P0306 - Misfire, Cylinder 6 (exceeds limit value) These are stored but not active even when we tried to rev the car nothing happen just normal no code have been stored in the DME

I will try to get the code as soon as the dealer is open. Many thanks guys

Hi everyone. I have a Porsche Carrera 996 3.4L 2001 model with 160K km on the dash. I'm facing problem with my engine which is when I go over 5500 RPM the check engine light will flash for several seconds than it will go also it feels that the car loss power when at that RPM range and above also at the first gear I don't get the CEL but from the second gear to the sixth gear I will be getting CEL anytime I go above 5500 RPM. However, I thought that the car need some major service so I have changed the following: 1- engine oil (5w50) and filter 2- air filter 3- fuel filter 4- spark plugs 5- ignition coils ( I had a misfire because of one ignition coil went bad and a CEL was on but once I replaced all of the ignition coils everything went back to normal and the car idle and drive smooth ) 6- engine belt 7- three pulleys 8- manual transmission oil 9- differential seals 10- engine rear seal ( gearbox side ) 11- manual transmission seal 12- alternator rebuild ( without changing the alternator pulley ) 13- both radiotors ( little bigger with more capacity than the stock radiators ) 14- coolant 15- power steering fluid 16- brake fluid 17- Battery ( Bosch S4 80 AH ) When the engine is cold and I start it the oil pressure will be at 4 and once the engine is hot ( like driving for more than half hour or so ) the pressure will drop to 0.5, also when accelerating to 5500 RPM the pressure will be at 4 or a little bit above 4 but won't reach 5. in addition I noticed that the right side exhaust has black residue but the left exhaust is clean. Also the voltage when I put the ignition on it shows 12v and once I start the car it will sit between 12v and 14v depending if the headlights or the ac is on but generally when everything is on the voltage will be at the middle between 12v and 14v and with just the engine on it will be a bit higher near the 14v but won't exceed. Once I drove the car for more than an hour and when I came to a traffic signal down shifting when I hit the clutch to shift gears the RPM dropped to 0 and the dash lights came on I stopped the car and turn the ignition off than tried to start it ageing and it worked fine but took a few seconds to start like one or two seconds. Any ideas on what might be the problem with my car? Thank

Try 0691 Thank you very much it worked
