    P0130 - Oxygen Sensor Ahead of Catalytic Converter (Cylinders 1 - 3) - Intercore Short Circuit or Limited Voltage Increase Probable causes: Bad Oxygen sensor. Bad connection at O2 sensor. Faulty DME. P1128 - Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 2 (Cylinders 1 . 3) - Rich Threshold P1130 - Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 2 (Cylinders 4 - 6) - Rich Threshold This means you are running too lean on both sides of the engine. Probable causes are: Intake or exhaust leak. Low fuel pressure. Your misfires have cleared or there would be codes for them too. What is wrong with your cat? Could it have damaged the O2 sensor? I would take the readings again and see if they are consistent with what you have reported here. Then if the P0130 continues then I would replace the precat O2 sensor on that side. Drive the car for a couple days and see if the other codes come back too. If so, report them here.

    Year and PCM model please (PCM1 or PCM2)?

    If the engine was not running then that would be normal for some readings. You will get the same readings (under the same conditions) with a PST2. Here is a screenshot of my car with just the ignition switch on - cold engine overnight. You can also look in your log file and should see a list of readings taken. Also, make sure you have the latest version 2.1 just came out a few days ago. You can always download the latest version at their site.

    We have added the DME Fault Texts for DME 7.8.x. DME 7.8.x is used on: Carrera (997), S MY05- These are preliminary since Porsche has is yet to publish these "officially". Special thanks to the folks at Durametric Software for compiling these. You can find this information from the Online Docs Menu under OBD II P-Codes

    The 997 console is quite different than the 986/996 console. The parts diagram looks like it has a similar hinge, spring and screws. It should be able to be transferred easily - once the console is removed from the car.

    Porsche does not sell a Tequipment kit for this so you will need to look at the parts list and pick all the parts with the option codes I1LH and IE81. These are the option codes for the big brakes used on the power kit. Looks like calipers, rotors, pads, connecting lines, and splash plates.

    What: Read Your Fault Codes For FREE Day When: Saturday, May 6, 2006 -- 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM Where: SharkWerks 4444 Technology Drive Fremont, CA 94538 Mainline: (510) 651-0300 Map More Info: Did you know most Porsches have 6 or more control units that record fault codes? Did you know that many fault codes do not turn on a warning light? Did you know that some fault codes are "pending"? On Saturday, May 6, 2006 from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM SharkWerks is allowing us to use their shop (and parking lot) to read your car's system controllers for FREE. Both Alex (SharkWerks) and I have the latest Durametric Software to read and your fault codes in your DME, ABS, Airbag, Alarm, Heating and A/C, Seat Memory, Tiptronic, and more. The software will also report out all Actual DME Values and DME information (such as stage 1 and stage 2 ignitions, operating hours, radio code, etc.). I will also have my PST2 for verification and to reset any alarm codes. We will suggest potential causes for the fault(s) and reset (if you want) any fault codes. Time permitting we can also turn on OBC or Cruise Control for those planning to add those functions. For 993, 986, 996, GT2, GT3, TT, and Cayenne. only at this time. Sorry, no 987 or 997 this time -- but you are welcome to come and watch. Durametric has just added the 987 and 997 to their software so we will be able to read/reset fault codes for them also. Hope to see you there...

    Each section of use is covered (somewhat) in the workshop service manuals for each model - for specific functions. Some TSBs also have limited instructions to perform the check or changes needed on the TSB. To my knowledge there is no manual for what it can and can't do. What (specifically) do you want to know?
  11. Loren
    If you have a PST2 it is available at power up using the F1 key. I'll upload a copy here. PST2_Manual.pdf

    I have notified the folks at Sunset about the broken link. What specifically are you after? (edit - link is back up)
  13. Loren
    If they are Porsche parts you can find a link to the parts list here.

    I am closing this thread -- as it is going no where.

    Check the heat shield around the muffler to make sure it is not causing the noise. If it is not the heat shield or loose hardware then chances are that it is a broken weld in the muffler. As far as I know any standard (996) muffler can be used. If you have the PSE (Porsche Sport Exhaust) that is not the case. You do not want to mix the small tube PSE with the large tube PSE.

    "Through the secondary air system, additional oxygen is introduced behind the exhaust valves in order to reduce harmful emissions. This occurs after the engine is started, within a defined engine temperature range and for a predetermined time."

    From the service manual... Topping up ATF 1. Remove engine guard. Remove cover of ATF pan. To do this, loosen the two fastening screws. Note - Secure vehicle to prevent it rolling away. - Vehicle must be horizontal in order to check ATF. 2. Start engine, move selector lever to position N and continue at idle speed. Note - Undo oil inspection plug A only when temperature reaches 40 °C. 3. Unscrew oil inspection plug A. (B is the drain plug) 4. Fill with (Porsche approved) ATF using the oil filler for ATF until oil emerges at lifting pipe. (You will need a pump to do the filling). 5. Screw in oil inspection plug A 52 ftlbs. (70 Nm). 6. Move selector lever to position P and switch off engine. 7. Install cover of ATF pan. Install engine guard.

    What year car? (This is important because there was a TSB for some cars and not others).
  20. Loren
    I think so. As I recall there is a collar around the actuator pin that the cable pulls on.
  21. Loren
    The MY03 Owners Manual is here and it should be very close to MY02.
  22. Loren
    Correct.
  23. Loren
    In your diagram (right side) item 1 is the emergency operation cable. Item 2 is a guide rose and item 3 is the electric actuator. The guide rose goes in the body to guide the actuator arm. Here are two images - in the first one it shows it how it should look. In the second shot I am holding the rubber bumper stop out of the way so you can see the rose and actuator better.

    Only for vehicles released: - without option M622, Porsche Communication Management (PCM); information and navigation system; - without M680, Digital Sound Processing (DSP); - without the mechanical heating and fresh air regulator; 000.044.801.91 Cupholder kit for Carrera/TT/Boxster -- MSRP $90.12 (as of April 2006)
  25. Loren
    Check the socket (that remains in the car when you remove the headlight). I've seen a couple where the connector/wires push out when you push the headlight in place.
