P1502 fault code

[Nick2508]

Not sure if you have fixed the problem, but it seems to be specific to Boxster's (both 2.7 and 3.2) made in 2000.

I would again try turning the ignition on and off fairly quickly a gazillion times until you hear a solid clunk from the throttle body (and stop cycling the ignition switch, but leave it on), pause, then continue turning to start the engine.

If that fails, change the ignition switch.

To do that you need small hands and to be good at yoga....you'll understand when you try.

Thanks Nick2508! Haven't fixed it yet, but the "gazillion times" ignition dance sounds...fun? At least it's good to know it might be a 2000-specific issue. And yeah, the yoga pretzel pose for the switch replacement sounds familiar...maybe I'll just bribe a friend with smaller hands.

Hi Mark,

Hell yes, I'd pay good money to watch someone else do it for me!

I've just bought another switch (Meyle, 100 905 000, MEX0267) which is an OEM part for the Porsche 4A0-905-849/B.

It appears to be good quality and well manufactured.

I paid less than $20 including shipping (£15.01) and I can see that Stoddard do them in the US.

I originally replaced it in 2012 and I'm replacing it again 12 years later (it's starting to get less 'clicky' and feels worn out).

Not looking forward to the yoga pretzel moves though....😂
