    I replaced the crankshaft position sensor and it works fine now. I believe there is something inside the motor that broke the tip of the crankshaft position sensor off. Wires were exposed on the end of the sensor.

    Update, not sure what changed but checking the plugs to the coils and the one on the right has 12.5v when the key is on the middle is ground and the left one has 0.10v while it’s turning over.

    So I recently got a 1998 Porsche boxster and it wasn’t running. It was supposed to be a fuel pump issue, but after getting a good ground on the relay for the fuel pump and checking the psi which was around 58 I decided to check spark. So far I’ve pulled two plugs and neither of them are giving spark so I pulled the coils off and tested the wires with a volt meter while someone turned it over and still nothing. Not sure where to go next?

    ABS failure with following PSM failure usually happen during the winter on the lower temps. Stop the engine, start the engine and it should clear. I've read it happens on 987 Caymans and it happened on my 987 Boxster 2-3 times like once per winter.

    Okay. 2025 & I’m experiencing the same issue. Anyone get this figured out!?! Fixed wires, every last thing mentioned above & still have error, gear shift is locked up. Help !😩

    Hi Loren, I am hoping you can help with a radio code for my 2002 996.2 C2. The radio is a Becker CDR-220 Model #4462 Serial #15004879 Thanks for any help you can provide!

    To measure cam deviation with the Durametric system, connect the tool and navigate to actual values tab and select cam deviation Bank 1 and 2 to view the values. Ideally, the engine should be fully warmed up to get true numbers. The video below shows someone doing the same thing on Boxster, but the process is the same:

    Hello all, The car is a 1999 996 C4 MT with 206,000 miles. When the car is cold, it starts fine and idles well. Once it is warmed up, the idle becomes rough and eventually the engine stops running unless I give it a bit of gas. Then I get a no-start issue. If I hold the accelerator to the floor, that gets the engine started again. I am getting a CEL: 1341, bank 1 I do have the Durametric tool, but am unsure what to do to measure the camshaft deviation and to activate the variocam. What are everyone's thoughts?? To add: I have cleaned the TB and all done all of the basics regarding poor idle, but no change. At 125,000 miles I had the engine out to repair a cracked head (Hoffman did the repair) at the time I replaced valve springs, reground the valves, and replaced all of the chain ramps and variocam pads with updated parts.

    Hi everyone, great read this. Glad the fix sorted it!

    Is it still on the right side for RHD cars? I'm in UK about to do full suspension service so changing the valves on the shocks and the o rings etc in the compressor with new dryer material
  32. Loren
    Normally I would say buy the newest car - but in this case I think the C2S with the manual is a better choice.

    Glad you had a great experience and want more. Tracking is a lot of fun! The track you'll be driving determines a lot of this. One local track required a lot of brake so I spent on brake. The new track uses little brake but a lot of grip so sticky tires and suspension overhaul are good. One of my 996 buddies spent a ton on his suspension including all the adjustable links, but went back towards stock as it was too uncomfortable as a daily. Maybe just a simple refresh of the 3 arms on each corner with new bits unless yours have already been done. Another intermediate step would be firmer bushings in the metal arms. Next, there are intermediate steps between coilovers and stock dampers. Stiffer Bilsteins (B4 is stock, B6 is stock height but stiffer, B8 is for use with lowering springs and same stiffness IIRC as the B6). I run B6 on my Box and its a good compromise.

    I'll see if I can look it up, but that sounds correct but I only had one bank, I think 2. Yes, I'm certain it's the lift solenoid.

    To the porsche gurus, I thank you in advance for your help. I am about to buy my first porsche. A childhood dream. It is between a 2008 Carerra S. 61,000 kms, Manual, No PASM and a 2009 997.2 Carrera S, PDK, 85,000 kms, ceramic brakes, fully loaded. Both have a full service history. If it was you, what would you buy?

    Thanks JE. So you think it's the lift solenoid for your engine? What codes are you seeing on yours? Most people with the solenoid issue have errors codes on many cylinders, and I only have #8 issues, so I'm not sure if it's just a lifter or what...

    Hi all, If anyone could assist with providing a radio unlock code that would be massively appreciated! My details are as follows: 1999 Carrera 4 Becker 1 CDR-220 CDP2081 4462 24/99 SER: Y5034773 Thanks in advance!

    I’ve fought this for a few months. Initially got the variable timing unit replaced by mistake. Spoke with head tech at a dealership about while there for another issue. He was kind enough to explain how to change the lift solenoid without a lot of difficulty. He suggested removing the panel behind the engine for better access. Also, you’ll need an o ring for the vacuum pump as that must be removed. Since it seems to only appear from cold, disappearing once warmed, I’m going to put this off a while. Building an engine for one of the Boxsters takes a lot of time.

    UK 2008 Cayenne 3.6 (957). 179k Miles. Noticed a small pool of oil under the front nearside wheel (roughly under coolant tank). Recently passed MOT (typical!!) No loss of power Oil dipstick shows no significant loss of oil No dash warning signs Codes P0421 and P0431 (o2 sensors and/or cat) Lots of muck/oil/coolant behind nearside section of engine (when facing the engine, left side) Please see pics. Any ideas what could be causing the leak? Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Lex
