    Oh my God I want that car.. :clapping:

    Dharn, You are the best. i owe you one. Roock will not give me any information. He says it's not his fault (nothing is ever his fault.) He doesn't accept incoming calls on his cell so he must have a lot of people that want to kill him. I have been duped by this guy and I feel very stupid. :cursing: Please warn others about this guy. He is bad news... :help: I will take the car to my mechanic that did my clutch two weeks agao. Roock says they are responsible because they put stress on the fuel lines when the did the clutch. I had to do the clutch because Roock's tech (that installed my engine) put the clutch disk in backwards. :( I will have the car towed tomorrow. May be I should take a huge loss and donate this car and get a Ford Focus. I'm exhauseted from it :soapbox:

    I think I found the problem but I can't do anything about it. It appears the plugged return fuel line form the 3.4 set up is the culprit. Is the line about 1/2 inch in diameter and runs parallel to the injectors about 4 inches above them? This is what is leaking but I can't get to it. Even if I could i wouldn't know how to re- plug it. They obviously did a shoddy job during the conversion. No suprise after all the other problems. Can anyone give me some feedback on this? Thanks

    Dharn, Okay I found where the fuel is coming from but there is no way I can get to it. It's not the injector... It's coming from the area above the injector in the photo. I can't see the actual source.. Its squirting a lot a fuel when I turn on the ignition so I guess it could be the plugged return line. I cant see it or get to it. I only know the area it's coming from. Any suggestions? Does the engine have to be dropped to get to it? :huh: I looked from the engine bay and I don't see any way of getting to that area from above either. What a freakin mess. Get back to me when you can. Thanks

    Problem is I don't know where the return line is or even what it might look like. I took off the heat shield to get a look at the injectors. It seems the leak is coming from this injector. (see pic) Are these easy to replace? Why would it suddenly leak in the first place? I have to have my wife turn the ignition one more time to see if that is what is spewing fuel. Seems strange that an injector would leak so badly. I'll update in a little while

    Odds are you will have no issues with the updated re man. Enjoy! :drive:

    Loren, You have a schematic of how the fuel lines are laid out on a 996? Thanks
  8. phillipj
    I will check the items you mentioned. Thanks so much for your help. Do I have to remove anything in particular to get a good look at these areas? Another question. I know that you rebuilt your engine and installed it. All of these fuel line connections need to be made when you put the engine in correct? So I'm thinking that when the tech put in the 3.6 he may not have done a proper job of attaching the fuel lines? Possible?? I'm thinking about shooting this car in the head B) and taking a complete loss on it. It is a money pit and I have been through this before with other cars. :angry: :cursing: It never stops. Pretty soon my spending levels will be up around the cost for a 06 997 Carrera S. That's just wrong

    You should drive the hell out of it and don't worry. My 99 996 was awesome and trouble free :P
  10. phillipj
    Yes that is true :D I just can't figure out what would cause a fuel leak. Can anyone tell me what to look for (that might be the most obvious) once I get underneath the car tomorrow? Has anyone had a similar situation? Thanks !!
  11. phillipj
    anyone have a PET diagram of the how the fuel lines go?

    :o Okay, 2000 C2 cab 996 with 3.6 conversion So my nightmare with this Porsche continues. :angry: I was driving home last night and I came to a stoplight and I smelled gasoline. I thought it might be the car in front of me but it wasn't. My car began running rougher and then it died. I started it up again and had to keep it reved to keep it from dying. I smelled gas even more. I finally got home (which was just a few blocks) and there was a trail of fuel on the ground. When I looked under the car it was coming from the left hand side (drivers side) of the engine just forward of the water pump. I thought fuel pump? Seemed strange that it would keep running if the pump quit.. I just had the clutch replaced last Friday. Could they have damaged a fuel line when dropping the tranny? My car is very low.. Could I have ran over something that ruptured a fuel line? Where the heck are the fuel lines? No codes or faults. Any suggestions? When a fuel pump fails doesn't it just quit? It seems unlikely that it would spray fuel on the ground. The 3.6 engine has less than 10k miles on it. At at my wits end with this money pit. (my other Porsche was a dream..) :huh: The car still starts and immediately starts dripping fuel. What should I look for or do? I need you guys on this one.. Thanks, Phillip

    I have to disagree. I had over 75K on my clutch and it still had plenty of life. Just depends on how you drive the car. Getting back to the car for sale. In this market there is no reason to by an 05 Carrera with 80k miles period!. That is the worst year for the 997 and you are asking for mechanical issues after you buy the car. I agree with the poster that the dealer sounds like a fool. Look around and find another car. Look for somthing with around 30k miles and with a warranty. Preferably an 06 (has engine upgrades.) Good luck! and don't fall in love with the first car you see!

    Do a search here and you will find lots of DIY material on doing your own mesh

    Get the G 12 coolant from Audi. It's the same as the Porsche but it's only $20 a gallon. Porsche is about $80.(go figure.)

    There are some great people here! :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

    Clean your idle valve and throttle body if your car is non- E gas.. Search here and you will find intructions. Might not be the cause but it wouldn't hurt and it's an easy job.

    Thanks Loren!

    awesome... :cheers:

    What is the X73?
  21. phillipj
    I will look to see if they have a supplier in the U.S. Thanks for all the input everyone.
  22. phillipj
    Thanks gentlemen, Great information :D
  23. phillipj
    Yes that is the normal configuration.. I have the same wing as you do. That (where your finger is pointing) is where the engine gets it's cold air from. Any obstruction would cause your engine not to get proper airflow. I get a little water in mine after washing but nothing that would make the belt slip
  24. phillipj
    Yes he will give them to me and I would just would like to archive them. Is $400 a reasonable cost for the cable?
  25. phillipj
    I'm considering having the ability to be able to load my own program to my DME. (This is because I have a custom program to run the 3.6 and If I were to lose it I would be stuck.) The tuner agreed to give me the sofware but said I would need a "Flash Cable" that would cost $400. What is a flash cable and how much do they really cost? I don't trust this jerk.. Thanks.
