    P1124 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 1 (Cylinders 1 - 3) - Rich Threshold P1126 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 1 (Cylinders 4 - 6) - Rich Threshold These codes mean that is too lean. That is, the DME can make the mixture rich enough to compensate for a lean condition. Potential causes are: - Intake air system leaking. - Fuel pressure too low. - Volume supply of fuel pump too low. - Fuel injectors fouled.

    Which ones? There are 3 different part numbers for 996 GT3 brake ducts including the GT3 RS ducts.
  3. Loren
    Unlike most US manufacturers Porsche (as do many other European automakers) does not give out any information - you have to dig for it yourself. Even the EPA had to threaten them to get them to release OBD II codes to the public. Read this article for: Cracking_The_European_Data_Safe.pdf

    Sorry, that is not a good part number. It is now 996.504.981.01.G2X -- MSRP $92.03 :eek:
  5. Loren
    I sent you a PM so that you can check out the wiring.
  6. Loren
    You are wanting to replace PASM with what?
  7. Loren
    The car - it sounds like a bad battery. You might want to have it tested. 2nd would be the ignition switch - sometimes wiggling it makes a difference. If you can wiggle it and make it work you need a new ignition switch.
  8. Loren
    Please do not double post. Your question has already been answered here.
  9. Loren
    How old is your battery?
  10. Loren
    I think we will call you "lucky". I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have passed in California. Where are you located?
  11. Loren
    The parts only come with option I447 Emergency Tire Kit - unless you buy them individually.
  12. Loren
    It could just be water coming through one of the body drains. Coolant smells sweet (and tastes terrible). Once the car drys have a look after a short drive.

    A MY02 is egas so there is no ICV. The idle is controlled by the DME making slight adjustments of the throttle butterfly. I would start by cleaning the throttle butterfly (front and back side) with a spray fuel injector/carburetor cleaner.

    You do know the Homelink control module is behind the front bumper? 1. Switch off ignition and remove ignition key. 2. Using a small screwdriver, carefully unclip and remove the cover for the fastening screws at the openings (arrows) provided. 3. Unscrew the two fastening screws. 4. Unclip cover for motor for sliding roof at the rear to the left and right (arrows A) and push it out to the front towards the windscreen (arrow B).

    The usual way that you know there is air in the system is higher than normal temps and having to refill the coolant tank. Here is the vacuum refiller... http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=64529
  17. Loren
    Well if the whole system has been emptied then the best way is to use a vacuum (pull) to fill the system and eliminate air. If you just added a 3rd radiator or replaced the coolant tank then you should not have lost much coolant - in that case I have found the driving with the purge valve open works fine.

    I think you need to start by pulling off shift boot and knob (described here elsewhere). See if you can see the cable attached and whether it moves or not. Also, look to see if anything fell inside the shifter area that could block it's movement. If all that looks ok then you need to check the other end of the cable where it connects to the transmission.
  19. Loren
    Take the side panel off and reach behind it to see if anything is blocking - if not just push.

    If the problem isn't fixed then you likely still won't pass inspection. They will still show up on the test machine as pending codes. Your fuel mixture is so rich that the DME can not compensate for it - hence the P1123 and P1125. These can be caused by a dirty or bad MAF giving errant readings. They can also be caused by a leaking EVAP canister - but in those cases you usually get an EVAP code too.
  21. Loren
    A faulty brake light switch or a bad MAF sensor will generate ABS/PSM failure (both lights at the same time) on a C2. Those are the most common causes. Have someone stand behind your car and see if the brake lights work - if they do you can rule out the brake switch.
  22. Loren
    If you use the Autozone (Johnson Controls) battery it is plug 'n play. If you go with the Optima battery you will need to fabricate a new mounting plate. There is a DIY on this in the 996 DIY area.
  23. Loren
    Press the switch on the left panel under the dash (black plastic fuse cover).
  24. Loren
    Just email them (support at durametric.com). They usually respond pretty quickly.
