Parts that i have pulled out of my car often are stamped with unfindable part numbers. Often they have been replaced/upgraded. Get the part that is recommended and plug it in. It will most likely work.

NewArt,

The P/N 987.618.634.07 is P/N for the OEM MAF sensor (according to the Durametric reader), the car has 70k and this will be the first time it will get replaced..

987.606.125.00 is what Porsche shows for your car. I'm betting the Durametric software (it cant read the part number from the MAF) is outdated.

$212.64. You can pick it up on my account in Irvine at a Will Call window off the Jamoboree and the 5.

Bring cash. Let me know if you want the address.

FYI: no need for "great service" if you get the part right the first time

FYI: the part number Durametric is spewing doesn't even come up in the PET parts software as a good number.

and.. I'm betting your MAF is fine. You had the unplugged 02? right? in another thread? Clear the codes, drive it.

Brad,

Actually my office is not far from Jamboree and the 5 FWY, could you please provide the address and I will stop today before 5pm.

Thanks for the offer..!

PS:The check engine light came on before I swapped the front engine mount, and the yellow O2 sensor wire was disconnected after the light came on was on before.

Last night I cleared the light with the Durametric and it came back this morning as soon as I left my house...

Thanks again!

I think the Durametric is telling you that's the part number for the DME COMPUTER. Notice it's printed before any fault codes.

For my 2000 986 the PET gives the DME module as 996 618 605 00. All the DME modules part numbers are of the form 996 618 6xx xx.
