    Porsche recommends a small amount of anti-seize on the bolt threads only. A small amount should not have a bad effect on torque settings - plus or minus 10 ft/lbs. is okay.

    Yes, if you disconnect the battery is does have to re-learn. Just drive it as you normally would - it may take 5 miles or so to re-learn. Loren, Thanks for the reply. I cleaned the idle air valve and it helped tremendously. Car went for 2 days without a problem, rock solid, until this evening and started again. I noticed when I was cleaning everything, the plastic hose that connects the oil seperator to the throttle body had oil in it. It was wet enough to cover my finger, so I cleaned it as best I could. Is there a procedure to clean the seperator, or is it replace only ? Also, is it possible that the two problems are related, as in, a vacum problem not venting the crankcase ? Thanks for your advice ! If there is oil in the throttle body then you likely have a bad AOS. This would also cause a vacuum leak (and corresponding fault code).

    I still think... Could be just a bad sensor.

    Either read the width and offset off the wheels or get the part numbers. Fronts should be ok - rears may need spacers.

    Too bad for you... the Porsche (NA) Tech training classes used to be in Las Vegas. I think they are only in Atlanta now - but then you would need to get hired by a dealership first. ;) Ask your questions here and some folks that are more familiar with the tools will try to answer them.

    P0455 Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected (large leak) Possible cause of fault - Tank cap not tightened correctly, faulty or missing - Mechanical fault in EVAP canister purge valve (does not close fully) - Leakage diagnosis pump leaking internally (membrane) or externally - Mechanical fault in EVAP canister shutoff valve (does not close fully when power is supplied) - EVAP canister shutoff valve connections leaking - Tank system (including pipes) leaking Check your gas cap and seal. There have been some changes to the gas cap so you might want to make sure you have the latest revision.

    Sorry, not that I have seen.
  12. Loren
    Just do not connect the gray/pink wire.
  13. Loren
    Try 0439 or 0437
  14. Loren
    Maybe start by checking the fluid level.
  15. Loren
    Try 9224 or 9222
  16. Loren
    Fixed - it should work now.

    I am not recommending anything beyond 18" wheels - I am saying 18" wheels are ok on MY99-MY05 cars.

    P0734 Gear monitoring, 4th gear - signal implausible Potential causes: - ATF level not OK. - Mechanical/hydraulic fault in transmission. - 34 (e.g. solenoid valve does not operate despite correct electrical triggering) - Solenoid valves - Valve chamber - Transmission

    Item 9?

    For a MY03 996 the correct plugs are FGR 5KQE0 - part number 999.170.223.90 Looks like they gave you Cayenne plugs.
  23. Loren
    Shouldn't be anything special - just top up the power steering pump reservoir until all the air bleeds out.
  24. Loren
    Yes, I was suggesting a trade for a Turbo 996.
  25. Loren
    You will likely get a small bump (less than 10 HP) from headers and sport exhaust. The plain answer is Boxster's and Carrera's are pretty much maxed out - if you want a lot more more trade for a Turbo. The Turbo's actually respond very well to exhaust and chipping.
