motor mount issue

how do i know if i have a motor mount issue? when i downshift sometimes i feel a bump.

If it has never been replaced or it doesn't have a 987 part# it needs to be replaced for sure. The symptom seems to indicate a worn motor mount.

I also noticed a vibration / resonance around 3k that went away after changing the mount. It's not that expensive a part and a fairly easy task to swap it out, so I am glad I did mine. The old one was definitely cracked and on its way to complete failure.

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)

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
