Boxster CPS


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if this crank position sensor will work on a 1999 Boxster, 5 speed, 2.5L? I'm not cheap. But I am frugal. I see no reason to give $135.00 for something if, something else works for half the price.

Thanks, Randy

All crank position sensors are simple Hall Effect units, only questions are does it have the correct electrical specs (resistance, etc.) to match the OEM, is it the correct length (critical), and are the connectors the same (does not look like it in the photo)...................

Ya, I have used Oklahoma Foreign Parts. When I bought it, the guy who had installed the front speakers was a tad impatient and the grills were shattered. Bought a set from Gary there. Great guy to deal with! But if I'm going through the effort to get to the sensor. It will be a new one that I replace it with. At the age mine is and not having any maintenance records. At least since 83,000 miles, that was the last time the Porsche dealer had seen it. It was probably somewhere else since then. But who knows?

I'll save bucks when possible. If I can obtain the same results. But there is a breaking point like anything. Were it doesn't pay off.

Kinda like me doing home plumbing repairs. Some plumber always gets paid for me fixing it. :(

Thanks for your help guys!
