    I would check first and see if there is some weatherstripping or other debris jamming the fan. That has happened to a few folks. Take the pollen filter out and see if you can feel anything in the intake channel/blower.

    Not sure you would want to try this on your own... The service manual only shows it with the engine removed - but I think it can be done with the engine installed. You would need to position the cams and then use special tools to hold them in place. Remove the timing chains etc. etc. Where are you located? Perhaps someone can suggest an independent shop in your area that will likely be half of what a dealer would charge.

    Only with a PST2 or PIWIS tester. Where are you located?

    Sorry, I have no record of a contribution from you. Could you please PM me with your PayPal email address, the date of your donation, etc.

    Thanks Loren I let it idle for 10 minutes before the spin this morning it was about 54 degrees, if it doesnt stop when hot how much should I worry thanks Christopher Well, if it never goes away then you likely will need to replace one or more of the hydraulic lifters.

    Depending on your outside temperature I would let the car idle 15 minutes or so and see if it goes away. If it does, then I would not worry about it.
  7. Loren
    With all due respect to people's "theories" - I would like to see some documentation from Porsche.
  8. Loren
    If it is a model 99 and Porsche ever changed out the engine - then it is a 3.4 liter. Changing to a 3.6 requires several wiring changes and you must also change the DME. I doubt someone went to all that trouble. The accordion outlet pipe style was also used on the factory Porsche Sport Exhaust - so it does not mean you have a 3.6 liter engine. Any 3.4 liter can use 3.6 liter mufflers -- but not the other way around (i.e. a 3.6 can not use 3.4 mufflers). So, if you car has accordion outlet pipes then either it has a PSE or has a 3.6 muffler.

    Hmm... I have seen at least one DME where the connector was not tight and the connector was at best half-on. So, let's hope that was it.

    P0139 Ageing of Oxygen Sensor After TWC, Bank 1 P0140 Oxygen Sensor After TWC, Bank 1 – Open Circuit P0139 Potential causes: Implausible signal from oxygen sensor – Oxygen sensor P0140 Potential causes: Open circuit in signal wire or ground wire of oxygen sensor. Oxygen sensor heating not functioning. – Wiring harness – Oxygen sensor – DME control module Without seeing your O2 sensor voltages (before and after) it would appear that you have a wiring/connector problem at the sensor(s). If the wiring looks and tests ok - then I would replace the O2 sensor before the cat first - clear the codes and see if the after cat O2 sensor r a code again.

    Moved to the DIY section - Great Job!

    986 and 996 only have range 1 and 2.
  13. Loren
    Usually that means the connection is open - not connected. Like someone remove the steering wheel and forgot to hook it back up - or broke the clock spring on the steering wheel connection. Best take the steering wheel off and have a look -- with the battery disconnected and the key OUT of the ignition.
  14. Loren
    Try 6608 or 6606
  15. Loren
    I would ask your alignment shop. I think you likely have -1.5 to almost -2.0 max with stock. See what they think the max on your car as stock is. You likely should by a couple sets.
  16. Loren
    Stage 2 over revs mean that the rev limiter could not control the over rev (bad). Usually stage 2 over revs come from missed down shifts or spinning the car (backwards) and not getting the clutch in fast enough.
  17. Loren
    And you have checked the clutch interlock switch?
  18. Loren
    Then I guess it is time to call the dealer...
  19. Loren
    Pretty sure its a hack. Google it. I know I saw it on a DYI page somwhere. Regard, PK It is covered here ad nauseam...
  20. Loren
    It is both standard and an option - let me explain. All Boxster's have the capability once it is "turned on" in the instrument cluster. To change the display you need to either add the OBC stalk (it goes beneath the turn signal stalk) or add a dash switch. Do a search here for OBC hack -- there is lots of info.
  21. Loren
    Sorry, only dealers can look up PCM codes.

    996.341.122.90 Left control arm 996.341.121.90 Right control arm You will need the shims too (1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 7 mm).
  23. Loren
    I get the same code. Where did you get the serial number? off a card or from the radio (as described earlier in this thread?
  24. Loren
    ALL Cayenne radio systems are MOST (fiber optic) so - yes you would have to replace most everything.
