    Try 0293 or 0291

    Model and year of your car please...

    Fault code 4340 Stop light switch Possible cause of fault: - Short circuit to ground/B+ or open circuit - Wiring/plug connection faulty - Mechanism of the stop light switch not OK - Adjustment of the stop light switch not OK - Pressure sensor plausibility P1574 Stop Light Switch – Signal Implausible Fault area: Both stop light switches closed. – Stop light switch – Wiring harness If they have replaced the switches then the problem is likely the wiring. There are simple tests to determine the problem in the manuals. You will also need a special tool used to measure continuity to the DME and a volt/ohm meter.

    Those are from the Consumer Reports website or magazine they are published both places.

    I don't have a MY97 993 schematic but I do have the 993 TT. I think it should be close enough. They switched to a single drive motor in 1996. I sent you a PM.
  6. Loren
    If the battery died (or was very low) then that likely reset the DME.
  7. Loren
    Not really, I thought he had a pic of someone prying off the ball-socket.
  8. Loren
    Sorry, no they did not. Best you could do (after re-routing the window switch to the batwing) would be to put in four blanks. You might give Eric at bumperplugs.com a try - they might be able to a custom one for you.

    Tool Pants likely posted a pic a while back - try searching. At the bottom of the shifter rod is a black ball socket - pry that off. That is the main shifter cable for gears 1 to 6. Then disconnect the blue shifter rod (pin). This is the for the reverse cable.
  10. Loren
    Sounds interesting...Could we expect a DIY Article on that? I have a B&M, but keep on postponing the installation, since I heard that the shift becomes harder in the winter - I live in NJ. Plus I am not sure It would not cause the missing gears problem. They taped Tool Pants doing a B&M install - is on his DIY DVD's. It is pretty simple once you have done it a couple times (I stopped counting at 100 :lol: ). If you are having shifting problems now the B&M will not help. Start by using the factory tool to properly align the cables. If that does not cure the problem - then the bad news is a may be internal in the transmission. Good Luck!

    Any good after market battery will work fine. The Porsche battery is at least 3 times the cost of an after market one. See the Battery's thread...
  12. Loren
    IMHO... the newest you can afford.
  13. Loren
    It seems that OBD II requires that any fault codes (pending or actual) not be present for a certain number of "drive cycles" to produce a "ready" state. I do not know the number or formula. I do know that we have replaced an O2 sensor for someone that failed smog test and after the sensor was replaced and the fault cleared - the car did not reach a "ready" state for another 4-5 days. We checked each day.
  14. Loren
    MY98 through MY01 had plastic rear windows. The glass rear window was introduced in MY02.
  15. Loren
    Must be a state thing - here in California if you fail a smog test you are given 30 days to correct the problem and be re-tested. You get a sticker to put on your window signifying that.
  16. Loren
    It could take as long as 1 week of driving for the OBD II system to sense that there are no errors after a fault fix or a reset. This is done so people can not cheat on their smog test and disconnect the battery (to clear codes) just prior to the smog test. Your friend likely just needs to drive the ca and then have it re-tested. If you know someone with a PST2 or PIWIS they can easily tell when the car is ready for smog testing.

    Left rear luggage compartment. There is a relay panel there. The 40A fuse for the secondary air pump and the relay for that pump is in position 10 of that relay panel (993.615.115.0).
  18. Loren
    Try 0483 or 0481
  19. Loren
    Model year?

    P0410 Secondary Air Injection System - Signal Implausible (Cylinders 1 - 3) Secondary air injection pump is not triggered. Potential causes: - Wiring harness or fuse - Relay - DME control module - Air supply lines - Secondary air injection pump - Electric change-over valve - Air change-over valve

    Just put an ad in the Wanted section - chances are someone upgraded to PSE or some 3rd party mufflers and has a set sitting in their garage.
  22. Loren
    The 3.8 liter mufflers have a different part number (substantially different) - so I think even though they seem to look the same something might be different inside. But they look they could work. The 3.8 engine also benefits from different headers - which I doubt would fit properly on a 996 3.4 liter either. IMHO - if you are looking for horsepower I don't think you are going to get any.
  23. Loren
    Yes to both. Sometimes you can open those up and clean them up and bend them a little and get another 6 months out of them. Otherwise you likely need a new key head.
  24. Loren
    I personally would not recommend any flushes or oil additives unless the car had been sitting (and not started) for quite some time (over one year). I would suggest that you get the engine good and hot - let it cool some and then drain all the oil that you can. Give it at least 30 minutes or more. Then refill with a good approved oil.
  25. Loren
    Well, you can try a new battery but the keyhead may be bad. Does your second key work fine?
