    Thanks Loren, Not the answer I wanted to hear but sounds like the only option I have. After I take care of it I will come back and let everyone know the final out come,

    Thanks Loran, Cleared all Fault Codes and dropped from 44 to 11 fault codes. Durametric Report in file below. Noticed two things 1) My right hand gauge that displays information was showing TPM which I do not remember seeing before. 2) My emergence break would not manually shout off. Tried to start the motor...same issue ...will not crank. Front lights come on when key is turned to the start position. Hood was open when I tried to start car. The tire pressure faults are not correct because I filled all the tires before trying to start the car. Tried to locate a clutch senser but found nothing above the clutch pivot like there is in my 986. Is it a senser or the ignition switch or the DME not picking up a signal? Not sure what it is?

    Began having problems with the car when my new battery lost charge. Tried to start car and it would not turn over. Key locked in the ignition. Followed instructions on how to release key. Went well except I lost the small plastic cover (as shown on page 22 of the operators manual) you need to reinstall to get the key to function. Ordered a replacement piece and broke one of the small plastic legs that fit in the two slots to allow the key to work. Super glued the tiny plastic leg back on and installed the small plastic cover in the ignition. The six month battery turned out to be a faulty battery. Replaced for free. Car sat for four hours (no power) while I picked up and installed the battery. Put key in the ignition ...turned it ...all instrument lights came on but when turned to energize the starter nothing happened. Would not crank at all...NOTHING. Radio ,windows, instrument lights, blinkers and front lights all worked. Took my Durametric and scanned for fault codes. The results (44 fault codes) are on the attached file. Pulled out my multi meter and checked all the fuses .... all appeared to be good. Not sure where to go next. Anyone have any thoughts?? Work Log-2024-10-16_12-25-58-PM.htm

    Thanks JP. I'll leave an update when done. Could you see the pictures I tried to include? If so I will leave some more that should be of interest for the engine rebuild. Thx. Bob

    Rebuilt a 2001 Carrera 3.4. Cracked #2 cylinder sleeve Sent case off to L&M Eng. came back in great shape and they bumped it to a 3.8. Build went great...motor back in car...runs great...tuns of torque. BUT noticed I was leaking gas. Took awhile but found that the #3 injector appears to be leaking. Is there an easy way to get to it without dropping the engine? Or having to remove the intake manifold? Thought I'd ask the experts!!

    Don't have it fixed yet. Still getting data and will post pictures and charts shortly. Thanks
  8. Reebuck1
    Thanks guys for the response...I have to go out of town for a few days and will be back at it shortly. I'll report back with pictures. Again Thanks !!

    Still am wondering why I get no fault codes when car is just idling but as soon as I blip the gas I get a check engine light and the above fault codes?
  10. Reebuck1
    DME is 5.2.2 from the 2.5 Boxster Intake and throttle body is from the 996 Carrera Air filter box is from a 987 but converted to fit in the 986 3 1/2 inch silicon piping runs from air filter to throttle body MAF is stock from the 996 with the 3 inch 987 tub that holds the 996 MAF MAF is located approximately 6 inches from the throttle body opening. oxygen sensors are the stock 2.5 oxygen sensors

    Ahsai/ Loren, Finally got the motor in the car and started it up today....major mile stone. I had my DME re-flashed with a ROW flash. Am running CAT by pass pipes with no muffler as of yet. Put the boxster 2.5 pre-CAT oxygen sensors on the by-pass pipes. No seats in car yet. Motor started right up...at idle ...NO FAULTS !!! blipped the throttle a few times and got the following FAULT CODES: P1319 P1318 P1317 P0300 P0306 P0305 P0304 P0150 I am only guessing......... I have a bad Oxygen sensor in bank 2 (4,5,6) Cleared faults...and again at idle, it caused no fault code. gave it some revs. and same codes as above showed up. Any thoughts? Pictures and writ-up to follow. Thanks, Bob

    Make sure you listen to JFP on pressure and especially BROKEN PLASTIC IMPELLER PARTS. I learned the hard way ! It was not cheep!!
  13. Reebuck1
    Does anyone know where I can buy the fitting that connects to the high pressure side of the fuel rail? I am doing a Boxster motor swap and I am trying to run a new high pressure fuel hose to the fuel rail on the 996 3.4 motor and I can not tell what size the larger high pressure connector is or what size threads the needed female connector has or needs? Thanks in advance.

    Down to final steps of a 3.4 swap into my 1998 Boxster ( including a 6 speed trans). I have a number of questions I hope someone can help me with or answer for me. 1. I have enclosed a picture of my exhaust headers. Note the inside diameter of 58 mm. Also note my fabricated intake manifold (Blue silicone piping) 3 in. ID. My question is how far away from the throttle body should my MAF be placed?? I am using a BMW MAF holder (black tub)with a Porsche MAF. Should this BMW tub be as close to the throttle body as I can get it or much further away as it is in the stock Boxster close to the air box?? 2. I would like to fabricate a pipe to eliminate my CAT. If I do this can I eliminate my post CAT sensors?? 3. The stock DME is Motronic 5.2.2 and is the same DME model that was in the 996 the motor came from. Will I still have to flash the DME before the car will run?? I know if I drop the post CAT it will need a special chip what if I do not drop the post CAT ?? 4. I would like to post a mistake list detailing some of the mistakes I had made on this journey if there is any interest out there...is there??

    Great thanks !!!!
