    A generic scanner will not find fuel system venting issues or many pending codes. Durametric or Porsche PIWIS should locate or get you much closer to the real problem without swapping out expensive parts.

    Umm.... we have one here also: http://www.renntech.org/forums/options/car997/

    Have a look at this - especially that last few photos where we showed how the pin and door are supposed to look. Perhaps your solenoid is miss-adjusted or gotten weak.

    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."

    You are going to need to follow the wiring back and see if it is or has been pinched.
  9. Loren
    You need to check the wiring harness and connectors for corrosion - or loose pins/crimps.

    No CEL does not mean there are no faults. There could be pending faults or worse fuel venting faults. The car needs to be scanned with Durametric or a Porsche PIWIS tester.

    Is your car a 4WD (C4 or C4S)? Wheel slip can cause this and is more common with a Tiptronic. As long as it clears it is nothing to worry about. If it does not clear then there are other possibilities - including a bad MAF, and wheel sensor issues. If it happens again and they stay on - it would be best to get the ABS/PSM fault codes (you will need Durametric, or a Porsche PST2, or Porsche PWIIS tester to read these faults.

    It is always wise to remove the throttle body from the car for cleaning. Many carb cleaner,choke cleaner, and throttle body cleaners contain varying amounts of alkyl esters (lacquer thinner) depending on your countries VOC requirements. All will cause damage to paint and all are flammable - so always best to remove the throttle body to a well ventilated area for cleaning.

    P1101 Input variables, charge measurement - below limit, above limit Possible fault cause - Heavily soiled throttle - Throttle damaged - Mass air flow sensor P1120 Throttle Valve – Signal Implausible Possible fault cause - Open circuit or short circuit in the wiring - Throttle position sensor faulty - DME control module faulty P1122 Throttle position sensor 2 - signal implausible, below limit, above limit Possible fault cause - Open circuit in wiring - Short circuit in wiring - Throttle position sensor faulty - DME control module faulty P1502 Throttle jacking unit, spring test - above limit Possible fault cause - Throttle part P1511 Throttle jacking unit - abortion of test due to negative influence on ambient condition Possible fault cause - Starting the vehicle during adaptation after replacement of throttle part Do you see the common trend in these codes? Throttle body and throttle body sensor/jacking unit. Perhaps start with a through cleaning of the throttle body, butterfly, and the inspection and cleaning of the electrical connections.

    Hmm... if you spun and did a 360 - did you get the clutch in? If not, some pretty strange things can happen if the engine is forced to run backwards. Oil overfill would be another possibility I think.

    MY 2000 and newer use DME 7.2. Any swap will REQUIRE programming both the DME and drive block/alarm controller to work together. The car would not likely start with a direct swap and no programming (that is what drive block is for). Likewise the transmission type will need to be coded into the replacement DME. You will need a Porsche PST2 or Porsche PIWIs tester to do this. You will also need the IPAS codes from both your car as well as the donor car. I would get a third opinion - we have not heard what your fault codes are or what has already been done -- but a bad DME is fairly rare.
