Deporto, your problem seems to be just a high mileage issue. 5670hrs? Don't know how many miles or if this is original motor or it has been refreshed or not but if not it is around 200k? Your cam deviations are just a little out of specs probably due to normal wear on the chains , pads, guides. Refresh of your timing components amd retime will probably cure this fault.

Schnell, one thing that has not been talked about on your problem is the mechanical timing between intake and exhaust cam. A common problem that is easy for the chain to slip over a tooth when trying to assemble the cams with chain and tensioner especially if you don't have the engine vertical. There are two gold colored links and two dots on the gears to time this(of course you already know this, I think this is a new build?). You can check this quickly by putting the engine in TDC same as setting the cam timing for the exhaust cam. then remover the cam plug above the bank 1 oil pump, look at the tang for the cam sensor, it should be pointing directly to 3 o'clock away from the head. If it's anything other than 3 o'clock the cams will have to be removed and retime intake to exhaust cam timing. I have seen this a few times and it will cause code p1341 and also will not allow cam actuator to advance/retard timing because it is too far out of spec.(14.9). There are 24 teeth on the gear that means 1 tooth off will give you 15 degrees off ie 14.9

Hi I Need a radio code for a 2002 Boxster CDR-220 ser # 15002623 thankx.

You will need to swap the throttle body, use the 1999 wiring harness (much easier than modifying 2000 harness)

On the a/c cooler just use the compressor and hoses from the 1999, your good to go.

Need the radio code for a 1999 Carrera Cab CR-210 serial number W5011103 Thank you !

To get the center bolt the best option would be to buy the Pelican Parts kit for $165. It comes with an improved center bolt and also the needed spacers to install a single-row bearing in place of the dual-row. Since the dual-row 23.8mm wide bearing is not available to the consumer (only Porsche can get that one), I'm assuming you are either using a 20mm wide dual-row , or you are using the 14mm wide single-row. If your preferred bearing is a 14mm single-row , the spacers from the Pelican kit will be what's necessary. If your preferred bearing is the 20mm wide dual-row, you will still have to source a 3.8mm spacer.You didn't say what bearing you were using, but IMHO I would not be using any type ball bearing , a roller bearing only would be used, or the Ultimate IMS Solution.

997 steering wheels do not fit 996 cars. The center spline is larger in the 997, there is an adaptor that will make it fit (from a 90 Audi) , but the covers for the column and steering wheel do not come close to aligning.

Codes p1130 and p1128 are codes indicating the mixture adjustment has reached its adjustment limit. It could be the max limit lean or the max limit rich. The  best way to tell is to look at the RKAT values before erasing any codes or resetting values , if the RKAT is at -.38 the system is at the lean limit indicating a rich condition( usually a faulty MAF sensor) , if the RKAT is +.38 the system is at rich limit indicating a lean condition(usually from an air/vacuum leak). Using this method will help keep from false diagnosis.

If I were you , I would spend a little time searching through TSB's . I seem to remember about 10 years ago a TSB about the ground wire connections on top of the engine. There is a ground for each bank, if the ground is faulty it will cause all sorts of crazy codes and intermittent problems. Its been quite a few years since I have fixed one of those , but I have seen a dozen of so.

EPS has a repair sleeve to fix the regulator cable problem that plagues these cars regularly. Also there is a good instruction on thier site showing the problem and the repair. The sleeve is $59 OR you can use a bicycle cable adjuster to fix it on the cheap.

Its a good idea to check the cable mounts like previously mentioned ,I have seen a lot of them tie-strapped due to retaining clips broken . Also adjustment , if the factory alignment tool will not fit the B&M just align both cables perfectly even . As far as the cable function , ONE cable is for selecting one of the 4 shift gates,(R-) (1-2) (3-4) (5-6), the OTHER cable is for selecting up(R-1-3-5) or back(2-4-6). So when doing the 2-3 shift the function is, cable 2 shifts half way up to neutral, then cable one switches gates from (1-2) to (3-4), then cable 2 shifts the rest of the way up.

Had a customer once who had a sulfur type/ rotten egg smell coming from the exhaust pipe off his 997 and some times a light white smoke from the drivers side exhaust tip. Turned out a chipmunk (rodent) had been storing dry dog food in his drivers side muffler !!! Dumped out about 1/2 pound of burnt dry dog food from it , strange thing is he said he didn't even own a dog .. and far as he knew his neighbors didn't either!! lol 

Really? that's strange..should have to enable PSE in DME ,A/C control , and Gateway through PIWIS tester or Durametric software ..so it turns off and on with the button? . And does the modulation through the quiet zone ?Do you have a PIWIS or Durametric?

Yes it makes since , your car has never had the PSE enabled , so the DME is not looking for resistance or to control it.

If your car did not come with PSE mufflers ,solenoid,  wiring , then your DME is not enabled for PSE and will not look for resistance , or control the solenoid until its enabled . I believe your car has the button built into the A/C control and sends the signal over CAN line to DME. I think  the wireless solution is the best way for you to go.

Disconnecting the solenoid does cause a DTC (although does not turn on the CEL) the DTC is there next time you run the scan . Although some solenoids disconnected, like the one on the air cleaner ,for Helmholtz resonator will set a background DTC and ALSO disable sport button . Switching to a resistance of equal value WILL satisfy the DME and not set DTC if the switch can be done instantaneous , with no drop or rise in resistance . Give it a try , it just may work!!

Attached is a picture of the wireless remote that I use in the Sound Symposer Retrofit 996 997.1 . It is small key-fob type with credit card size waterproof receiver , would work to control PSE also.

I think if you defeat the DME in this manor you will set a DTC fault (although the check engine light will not illuminate) . The DME looks to the solenoid for resistance checks on start up to see if any wiring , solenoid , resistance failures are in the circuit. The only ways to have the PSE on all the time without setting DTC's are (1) to disconnect the vacuum lines ,(leaving the electrical" as is") or (2)to add another control system like wireless remote to control the PSE . I have a wireless remote that I use for Sound Symposer Retrofit kit for 996 997.1 that will work for PSE also. I'll attach a picture and can visit my website at www.bansheestethoscope.com for more pictures and info . Best regards
