    Sounds like you may have let the smoke out of some of the wiring...........
  2. JFP in PA
    I would be bore scoping those two cylinders looking for bore scoring..............

    Because it is a 2005 engine, it would most likely have the oversized third generation IMS bearing in it, which means it cannot be removed without total disassembly of the engine because it will not fit through the opening in the engine cases. One way to know for sure would be to pull the trans, clutch and flywheel off and look at the nut on the IMS bearing center bolt; if it is 22 MM, you have the oversized bearing, which was the only one to use that large a nut.

    If all the systems are functioning properly, there might be a very slight amount of oil in the intake system, but very little to none.

    Interstate are OK, mostly a "mid-range" product.

    We used to be big fans of the Optima brand, but no more since Johnson Controls sold them to a private investment group that destroyed the product. An interesting example is one size Optima red top lost over seven pound of weight post JC's sale of the brand, that weight lost can only come from one place: lead. Definitely consider AGM style batteries, they have significant advantages over flooded cell batteries. Our current favorite is the Odessey line, top quality, great support services, US made.

    Torque is 8 ft lbs. Lack of tach movement is a common indicator of a failing CPS. The CPS is a simple Hall effect sensor, it has an infinite shelf life.
  8. JFP in PA
    I think you are in the market for a new sensor.
  9. JFP in PA
    You should be fine.
  10. JFP in PA
    Yes. I always like to go back to the last thing touched. At this point, I would not be concerned about the fuel tank as I think you are seeing smoke venting from the EVAP system.

    We have seen new (aftermarket) AoS units fail right out of the box, which is why we no longer use them. If the car was in my shop, I would start by hooking up a digital manometer to the oil fill cap and seeing what kind of vacuum you see there; it should be less that 5-6 inches of water, any higher than that and you have found your vacuum leak and the source of the oil in your intake.

    1 - Permanent magnet 2 - Sensor housing 3 - Engine case 4 - Soft iron core 5 - Inductor coil 6 - Reference mark Could be the sensor connection, bad sensor, magnet has fallen out of the flywheel or even a bad DME (but not likely). Test the sensor as follows: Remove connector. Connect ohmmeter to sensor connector, pins 1 and 2. Display at 20 °C: 0.8 - 1.0 k ohms Connect ohmmeter to sensor connector, pins 1 and 3. Display: 00 infinite ohms Voltage output at the sensor should be 0 and 7V or so at DME terminal 20.

    The CPS is a simple Hall effect sensor that generates a low AC voltage signal when ferrous metal passes by the sensor head. You can test the sensor still in place by using a digital multimeter set on low AC voltage, then spin the motor over to read the signal strength which should be consistent pulses. You can do the same thing with a scope.
  14. JFP in PA
    Long before I would replace the sensor, I would be running diagnostics to see if it is working or not.
  15. JFP in PA
    Check your crank position sensor; if the DME does not see the engine turning over (CPS), it shuts off the fuel supply.
  16. JFP in PA
    When you spin the engine over and the car doesn't start, what is the tachometer doing, is it bouncing or not moving?
  17. JFP in PA
    In the relay panel above the fuse panel.
  18. JFP in PA
    I would try an LED compatible replacement flasher and see what happens.
  19. JFP in PA
    Sounds like you have a leak.
  20. JFP in PA
    Do not double post, it is against the forum rules you agreed to when you joined.
  21. JFP in PA
    Nothing.
  22. JFP in PA
    Small spatula does the trick:
  23. JFP in PA
    Whirring. You need to check for fuel pressure and delivery rates; otherwise, you are groping in the dark..................

    This photo shows the relay panel under the driver's side foot well. The fuel pump is not normally turned on unless the engine is running, but you can remove the relay and bypass it using a simple jumper wire as shown here. Remove the fuel pump relay (shown in the inset) and then jumper pins 30 and 87 (typically labeled 3 and 5 on the relay panel). This will cause the fuel pump to turn on automatically when you turn the key in the ignition.

    Techron works with working systems, systems with old fuel problems won't be helped at all. If you do not have the testing equipment, you may be able to rent or borrow it from an auto parts store. If you are uncomfortable running the tests, find someone in your area that is and can help you. A good starting point would be to contact your local Porsche Club of America chapter and see who they recommend.
