Boxster base mystery problem

[jcslocum]

No tach movement usually points to the CPS (crank pos sensor). You don't need to get under the hood to replace this or test it. It's kinda behind the right rear wheel, in a crack between the engine and the trans. It's held in by 1 Allen bolt and has a 12" lead and a plug on the end.





Look for the bosch part number because there are less exp options out there than the Porsche part and they are exactly the same.

Sweezy, getting the top open is not hard if you follow the directions that you can easily find by searching. Here's one from outside the forum, with pictures. My convertible roof is stuck and not working, can I close/open it manually? ...or as bwdz said, it's in the owners manual.
For getting the car running, you may need someone else locally to get a look (associate or local enthusiast willing to volunteer an hour or two). If you have been at it this long and still haven't figured out how to open the top, you are not ready to fix a non-running engine. You can easily make things worse and more expensive to fix.
