    P1115 Oxygen Sensor Heating 1 Ahead of Catalytic Converter - Below Lower Limit P1119 Oxygen Sensor Heating 2 Ahead of Catalytic Converter - Below Lower Limit Possible causes: - Heating current too low. - Contact resistance. - Heating resistance too high. - Open circuit in heating current circuits. - Open circuit in H02S signal wire. - Short to B+ (output stage cut off). Start by... Check resistance of H02S heating. 1. Remove connector of H02S 1/2 ahead of catalytic converter. 2. Connect ohmmeter on pin side to pins 1 and 2. Display: 1.8 - 2.5 ohms at 20°C. 3. Connect ohmmeter on pin side to pin 1 and H02S housing. Display: infinite ohms

    Of course, you can try your second key. If you want to be sure beyond that then you will need to use Durametric or Porsche PIWIS to check for alarm/door locking faults.

    Have you looked at the circuit board in the key? Sometimes the buttons just plain wear out. A great solution is to buy the design key from Porsche (head only). Then transfer your immobilizer pill and metal key to the new design key. Fits 2001-2004.5 Carrera 996 (except Targa). Also fits Boxster models with a one or two button remote (1997-2000). Installation Guide - CLICK HERE About $135 from your dealer.

    You did not read the Lost Radio Code FAQ ... "Can you give me a code for my PCM?These units are manufactured jointly by Siemens and Becker, and the only place where you can get the codes required is from the dealer/OPC. The PCM’s require two codes, the ICS/Siemens code and a Becker code. The ICS is the first code requested.Sorry, the only place you can get a PCM code is from a dealer/OPC."

    P2190 Lambda control adaptation FRAU (lower load range) - below limit value Possible fault causes: - Incorrect main filling signal from hot-film mass air flow meter - Fuel pressure too high - Tank vent faulty (does not close completely) My guess is that it will turn out to be the MAF (assuming your vacuum leak is corrected).

    Was this just one dealer that said that? And, were they just talking about Cayman engines?
  13. Loren
    Porsche dealers/ OPCs were selling these for $199 at one time.

    I think Ahsai touched on a potential issue and that would be the pulleys and tensioner. These are known wear points on the Mx6 engines and you should always check them to make sure they spin true and do not have any wobble. The damage that can be done by a broken pulley or tensioner at high RPMs is unbelievable - until it happens. So, check your pulleys if you have not already.

    I think you are going to need a PIWIS tester to track this down.

    6 speed or Tiptronic?

    It is always helpful if you give the exact model and year of your car.

    A Porsche exchange (rebuilt) engine is about $25,500 - then add in labor for removal and install. I would stay (very far) away from LA Dismantlers - too many horror stories. Lots of amateur Cayman racers so you might check around for 3rd party shops that rebuild Cayman engines. PCA might be a good start for local recommendations.
