    Just about any auto parts store can test the battery for you for free. If you remove it from the car, the car can relearn everything it needs to by itself, with the exception of the radio security code on cars that need one.
  2. JFP in PA
    Load test the battery; a nine-year-old battery is always suspect..........
  3. JFP in PA
    No, that is one of the gear selector shafts.

    Welcome to RennTech Pretty sure that is a pressed in bronze bushing; if it is, the only way to repair it is to pull the gearbox and replace the entire tail housing as the bushing is pressed in from the inside.

    Try running voltage drop test across both primary battery cables, Porsche has had problems with these cables developing internal corrosion that cannot be seen but causes all sorts of issues.

    Some of the 986 models were plagued by incredibly long runs to rest the I/M Readiness triggers in the DME; hundreds of miles after all faults were correctly repaired were not uncommon.
  7. JFP in PA
    Easiest way to find out exactly what is triggering the alarm is to scan the system with a Porsche specific scan tool (PIWIS, Durametric); the alarm system stores that last ten alarm trigger faults in its memory.

    Welcome to RennTech P 0706 indicates the multifunction switch is disconnected or shorted to ground. I'd start by making sure the switch connector is properly seated and check the harness for any breaks or other damage. It could be the switch itself, but check that it is properly connected first, and make sure the shifter cable doesn't need adjustment.

    That I do not know; the difference between the set we use and the 45750 is ours has all the adaptors while the 45750 only comes with six. You might want to check with Lise to see if the smaller set has the correct adaptor, or if you can purchase it separately (I know they do sell them singularly).

    I like the Lisle system, Amazon sell them, but you may also be able borrow one from an auto parts store:
  11. JFP in PA
    Up front, you need to know this is a discontinued (Consumer Reports; https://www.consumerreports.org/products/ultra-high-performance-all-season-tire/bridgestone-potenza-re980as-397609/overview/) and superseded tire model, which means if down the road you needed to replace one or more, you may not be able to find them in your car's sizes. They were also known for being very noisy in customer reviews, which is probably why they were replaced.

    The second, or trigger wire, runs from pin #1 on the valve to terminal pin #7 at the DME.
  13. JFP in PA
    The trigger wire runs from the valve to the DME, the wire from the relay simply supplies power.
  14. JFP in PA
    Have you tested the fuel pressure and delivery rates? Problems in that area will make the car run like crap and not throw codes.................
  15. JFP in PA
    You haven't mentioned two items: removing and testing the valve itself and testing the triggering wire back to the DME pin for continuity.
  16. JFP in PA
    Slot #1 in the trunk, but if you have power at the valve harness connector, it should be working.
  17. JFP in PA
    According to the wiring diagram in the OBD II manual for your car, the valve should have two wires, #2 that receives a power signal from the DME relay terminal 87; and the #1 wire that runs to the DME terminal #7 (the DME supplies the valve's ground when it needs to run). I do not have the color codes for those two wires. Have you checked the valve to see if it functions? Unplug the harness connector at the valve, there should be a 22-26 ohm between pins 1 and 2 on the valve, and you should see battery voltage on the wiring harness connector pin #1.
  18. JFP in PA
    The code read out is as stated: "Open circuit, check valve voltage supply, check valve for function, check trigger wire for continuity"
  19. JFP in PA
    That is possible, but would throw a different code if it was Your code is an electrical issue.
  20. JFP in PA
    When you do, check that the valve has electrical power before doing anything. If there is something wring with the wiring, changing the valve will get you nothing.
  21. JFP in PA
    No, it is located at the EVAP system cannister in the wheel well (item #6): And don't buy from pelican, use board sponsor Sunset Porsche
  22. JFP in PA
    Welcome to RennTech P0306 is a misfire on cylinder #6 P0447 indicates an open circuit (disconnected electrically) on the EVAP cannister shut off valve. Possible wiring issue or valve itself. P1318 also indicates a misfire on cylinder #6
  23. JFP in PA
    Welcome to RennTech Iam not aware of any such item.
  24. JFP in PA
    There are multiple aftermarket top suppliers that make glass window replacement tops that fit the earlier cars, but they have a smaller rear window because of the differences in the mechanical mechanisms.
  25. JFP in PA
    If the top has a glass rear window, the answer is no; if it is plastic, the answer is yes. The glass window tops used a mechanical top system that has one extra metsl bow to accommodate the glass window.
