    P0134 Oxygen Sensor Ahead of TWC, Bank 1 – Interruption of Signal Possible causes: – Wiring harness – Oxygen sensor – DME control module P1115 Oxygen Sensor Heating Ahead of TWC, Bank 1 – Above Limit P1115 Oxygen Sensor Heating Ahead of TWC, Bank 1 – Below Limit P1115 Oxygen Sensor Heating Ahead of TWC, Bank 1 – Open Circuit P1115 Oxygen Sensor Heating Ahead of TWC, Bank 1 – Signal Implausible Possible causes: – Heating resistance too low – Short to B+ – Short to ground – Corrosion in connector – Break in wiring except for a few small wires – Break in wiring – Heating resistance too great – Open circuit in sensor line – Oxygen sensor If this started with the Softronic flash - then I would reverse that clear the codes and see if they come back.

    What error codes? You need to tell all the fault codes you have.

    Give it a few drives cycles. If it does not go off on it's own within a week then get a (good) code reader.

    With the fan off - reach in through the pollen filter opening in the front trunk area. Likely either debris or foam.

    Why not buy the Durmatric software?
  8. Loren
    Yes there are model year 2005 996's and model year 2005 997's. At 2005 introduction the 997 Carrera introduced only the new C2 and C2S - the rest of the widebody line and Targa came later.

    If you see no leaks I would leave them alone. (JMHO)

    Oil Cooling

    Loren replied to amihyar's topic in 911, 912 Series

    Hi Loren, did you notice a difference in oil pressure when tracking after installing the turbo cooler? is there even a way to tell oil temp in our 99 996 c2? Um... we are talking 74-77 911's in this thread not 996 series. If you are asking about the turbo oil cooler on my MY76 911S - it made a huge difference. Maybe 50 degrees. Most of my track time in those days was Texas World Speedway and it gets pretty hot there. Only other thing I did to reduce heat on that car was to get rid of the cat and replace it with a straight pipe. Back in those days there were little or no penalties for removing emissions stuff.

    Loren, I was fiddling around the switch today and found out it works... I have to angle the switch to a slight tilt position and then move it forward. It is a hit and miss as I have to fiddle around with it until it contacts. It seems the switch contact is bad. Is the switch servicable? Ron Porsche seems to only sell the whole switch assembly (almost $500 MSRP). So you might check salvage yards or electrical parts shops for matching parts.

    I would not risk damage by trying a boost start - too much potential damage including an exploding battery. I would remove and replace the battery where it is. You will want an 80AH battery of the same size and post layout. Also a good idea to inspect the battery support (mounting) at that time.
  14. Loren
    Well - the charcoal canister, fuel filler, sensors etc. are in the front right fender. So perhaps the is where the collision was? If so, then that may be the damaged radiator fan too.
  15. Loren
    In case you need to lower the engine to get the tank out.
  16. Loren
    It appears you have a number of electrical problems - was the car in an accident? or had some other damage? I would sort the problems with the fuel tank pressure sensor - it could be the root cause. Also, the radiator cooling fans need to be checked to prevent overheating.
  17. Loren
    If you have a good jack, the right tools and a little patience - it is not very hard.
  18. Loren
    Please do a search as this has been covered in detail several times.

    Replacing the Coolant Reservoir on a MY99 996
  20. Loren
    Yes, the coolant tank cracking is (unfortunately) a common problem. I would use SS screw type hose clamps - much better than the spring type (IMHO).
  21. Loren
    Could be a bad sender too. Cap part number is: 996.106.447.03 US MSRP $21.05
  22. Loren
    I do not know the laws in the Philippines - but in the US they can not deny your warranty as long as you have records that "somebody" did the service.
