Sorry, there is no way to adjust the idle speed. It is all set electronically these days by the DME. Fix the leak (or other problem) and the idle will come back to where it should be.

Same way you test any springs and shocks. Look for leaking or damaged shocks likewise look for damaged coil springs or very uneven height side to side (that can not be adjusted out). Coilovers are great for the track but a low ride for street and can be a bit bone jarring.

Look like an older set of coilover springs/struts (not factory option on standard 996 series - only GT3 came with coilovers). You might want to measure the height at the center of the wheel arches (side to side) - if they are off by 1/4 inch or more you likely need a 4 wheel alignment and height adjustment.

Only one style still available... 000 044 000 50 Cover (996TT w/aerokit) -- US MSRP $494.05

No aerokit - correct? Porsche currently only lists one for all 996 series without aerokit and one with aerokit. 000 044 000 77 Cover (w/o aerokit) -- US MSRP $343.20 000 044 000 34 Cover (w/ aerokit) -- US MSRP $495.05 If this does not fit then order the Turbo cover. I have the aerokit one and it is quite good.

996 505 741 02 01C is the full part number for the left side. If you remove the headlight (see owners manual and tool in your tool kit) you should be able to get to it. Even if you can not taking the bumper off is a 15 minute job.

If course an air leak is possible - there are lots of hose and fitting (and the car is 30 plus years old). But, I would also check the cold start valve to see if it is leaking fuel after warm-up. That was a fairly common problem on these cars. Next after those would be fuel pressure and the fuel pump. Any starvation at high RPMs? If so, it could be a weak fuel pump or bad pressure regulator.

If you were really wise and wrote down the number code - then you can order one from any Porsche dealer. If you did not do that you will need to go to the Porsche dealer and have them try each lock removal socket from their full set. When they find the right one write the code down and go to parts and order it. Not to worry it happens... :thumbup:

No problem. Please - anyone else has has a problem with changed email addresses please PM me so I can reset you to get emails again. Further explanation: This site uses your email for the Forgot Password function, as well as notifications YOU signed up for (i.e. Follow this topic). We DO NOT send bulk emails - at any time. We use a site tool that monitors "bounced" emails and when there are enough bounces it puts you on a "Disabled Email" list and stops trying to send to the bad email address. This is a good thing as keeps this site from being blacklisted for sending to bad email addresses. After you are on the "Disabled Email" list the only way to get emails or requested notifications from this site again -- is for you to update your email. Since very few people actually correct their email address - I must do a reset on your account so you get email again (like in Frank's case above). Thanks for understanding.

Please let me know if that is corrected now

See if it is corrected now please.

Or just pull fuse B3 until it is fixed.

Did you try Sunset Porsche in the Portland area? If they can't get it try Gert at Carnewal.com

Lot of folks have... read about it and the fixes here: http://www.renntech.org/forums/topic/1728-horn-problem/

It might be too full. As the weather get colder the fluid will get thicker. I would reduce it down at least to the full mark and give another try.

Here is the difference in your tank (C4, C4S, and Turbo) You tank actually looks like this (note the lower area where the level gauge does not go. Here is what Porsche says in a TSB about "running out of fuel..." In all current models except the 911 Carrera 4 (996), the fuel level warning light (reserve) illuminates when there is approx. 10 liters of fuel remaining in the fuel tank. When the reserve light comes on, the driving-distance-on-remaining-fuel (trip computer) is calculated by monitoring the fuel consumption signal (ti), and continues until the fuel tank is empty (or refilled). In the case of the 911 Carrera 4 (996), the shape and configuration of the fuel tank prevent the fuel level sensing system from being able to physically read down to a level of 10 liters. Therefore, on the 911 Carrera 4 the driving-distance-on-remaining-fuel calculation begins when the fuel reaches a level of 19 liters (approx. 1/4 tank). As fuel is further consumed below 19 liters, the amount of fuel remaining in the tank is a calculated value. The calculated value is derived from the fuel consumption signal (ti), and continues until the fuel tank is empty (unless the fuel tank is refilled). Whenever the fuel level is less than 19 liters and the ignition is switched off, the fuel-level and driving-distance- on-remaining-fuel values are stored in instrument cluster memory. If battery power is interrupted, these stored values are lost (erased from instrument cluster memory). Once lost, these values will not be automatically recalculated unless the fuel tank is filled with at least 19 liters (crossing the calculation-switchover threshold). To summarize, if the battery is disconnected with the fuel level less than 1/4 tank, the fuel level and driving- range-on-remaining-fuel values will be incorrect. When the battery is reconnected, the fuel calculation will default to 19 liters, when in fact, the fuel level is most likely less than 19 liters. This can result in the vehicle running out of fuel, with a seemingly good fuel level indication. If the battery must be disconnected on a 911 Carrera 4 (996), perform one of the following to prevent running out of fuel: 1. Fill the fuel tank with more than 19 liters of fuel (1/4 or more) before disconnecting the battery. This will eliminate the danger of invalid values being stored because the fuel level will already be above the calculation switching point when the battery is reconnected. or 2. Fill the fuel tank with at least 19 liters of fuel after reconnecting the battery. This will reset the calculation process with valid values. Of course our Contributing Members have access to all the TSBs as well as many other technical documents.

What JFP says is correct read part C of the code. Elsewhere they refer to red stop standards. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=veh&group=25001-26000&file=25250-25282

You have misfires on cylinder 4, 5 and 6. Until you find the cause of those your will likely have more (false) sensor faults. Which DME 5.22 or 7.2? Which intake and throttle body(Boxster or Carrera)?

Make sure it conforms to California Vehicle Code: 25251.5. (a) Any motor vehicle may also be equipped with a system in which an amber light is center mounted on the rear of a vehicle to communicate a component of deceleration of the vehicle, and which light pulses in a controlled fashion at a rate which varies exponentially with a component of deceleration. (b) Any motor vehicle may be equipped with two amber lamps on the rear of the vehicle which operate simultaneously with not more than four flashes within four seconds after the accelerator pedal is in the deceleration position and which are not lighted at any other time. The lamps shall be mounted at the same height, with one lamp located on each side of the vertical centerline of the vehicle, not higher than the bottom of the rear window, or if the vehicle has no rear window, not higher than 60 inches. The light output from each of the lamps shall not exceed 200 candlepower at any angle horizontal or above. The amber lamps may be used either separately or in combination with another lamp. (c) Any stoplamp or supplemental stoplamp required or permitted by Section 24603 may be equipped so as to flash not more than four times within the first four seconds after actuation by application of the brakes.But you might want an "off" switch in if you venture out of California.
