Help!!! My OBC Showing THIS:(

[Paul]

Your car has 4 O2 sensors, bank 1 is the passenger side. The sensor in question is on the passenger's side nearest to the head (before the cat). Check the wiring, if it's good the sensor needs to be replaced.

It's best if you purchase a sensor that includes the connector. Often, sensors with splices cause faults because the spliced electrical connection is weak.

Hi thom4782 thanks for being specific. Do you have any suggestion where I should buy or which brand I should buy? It seems like 02 Sensor have a wide price range between $50 to $250 starting from ebay to local stores (Autozone $ Orielly's).

The code you are seeing is not related to the locking fuel door. It is caused when the tank is venting fumes to the planet.

Hi Paul ... and I believe I can access the 02 Sensor (Passenger side) from the floor by lifting up the car and not through the main engine (from behind the seat).

Thanks.

1. Glass not dropping while opening the passenger door. After getting help from our fellow Boxster owners I'm ready to work on this. There are threads where Boxster owner are saying battery needs to disconnected while dealing with the door. i.e. the entire panel will be taken out.

The door has an air bag, disconnect the battery for a few minutes before doing anything with the door.

After hooking up the battery:

enter your radio code into the radio

One at a time, roll the windows the whole way up, then release the button, then hold it down for a few seconds to program the up position.

without touching the gas pedal, turn the key until the idiot lights come on, wait a full minute, turn off for at least 20 seconds to program the off throttle position of the gas pedal.

Must be done from under the car, removing rear tire helps.

Do we have a generic RADIO CODE for every Porsche car or it's a universal code? Where do I get the code.

Thanks.

BTW it is very difficult to siphon fuel from your car, just try getting a hose down the filler tube.

Radio codes are unique, original owners are given a card with the number. Sometimes owners write it in the owners manual or the options sticker on the front hood. Or call your dealer or see one of us that have the factory computer that can read it. Its a four digit number.

Thanks Paul. I'll call the dealer tomorrow and see if they would retrieve the radio code... FOR FREE...LOL

Only if they know you or if you can prove to their satisfaction that you own the car.

Or join Renntech and perhaps you can get it here:

I tried a dozen time to join RennTech but couldn't create a new account. Bummer!

Gentlemen... so I worked with my FUEL FLAP today. I did pulled the hook on the passenger side door. Sprayed some lubricants from both sides; from the door side and the fuel flap side. The actuator is active and the lock is working flawlessly.

The only issue... which I believe that it's a poor Porsche's mechanical system; I have to lock the doors every time I want to open the fuel flap to put fuel/gas

I've order 02 Sensor today from Autozone (Bosch brand). I'm excited to replace the oxygen sensor by myself.

Is there any idea to lift the car apart from using jacks. I've come across ramps. Seems like the ramps will work to lift up the rear tires. It lift's up 8."

RhinoGear is inexpensive, light and safe:
