I’ve had two high porsche shops scan the car and they confirm the cam advance is ‘slow”. The code is correct. But as I said, in terms of measurable pollutants emitted during the smog test, my car...

Been there, tried that. CA smog stations can tell the code has been cleared. The equipment will not pass a car with a cleared code.

I’ve done everything but tear down the top end. Which is what 3 of the top Bay Area Porsche shops concluded after checking out the car.

Repairing the car would be a ‘best advice’ if my car was a low mileage 986. But it’s not. The value of the car without a CEL would likely be around $10k. Every shop that has seen the car has...

Reset check engine light

My 2000 2.7 Boxster will throw a 1341 CEL after 30-50miles. Cam adjustment below limit. It’s been an issue for 5 years. The car runs great tho.

I’ve been taking the car to a shop that uses the...

Wait, that’s a bit harsh, no? I said I want to turn the engine over with the starter, without the car starting. It’s been in storage for months. I want the oil to circulate just a bit before the car...

Wait, so there is a fuse that supports both ignition and fuel injectors? If so, why not just remove that fuse?

Thank you. I hadn’t thought of that. Where is the “presta valve” and the fuel rail? And once I’ve pressed the valve, do I need to do anything to re-enable the fuel supply?

Preventing ignition

Can someone tell me if there is a fuse that controls ignition for a 2000 2.7 car? I’d like to be able to spin the motor with the starter but prevent the engine from actually starting.

Was thinking about an ignition kill switch. Has anyone installed one? Where is the easiest place to splice in a switch?

What size triple square bit?

My understanding is it required an 8mm triple square bit. Just bought one, doesn’t fit great. Should it be a 7mm? Or SAE?

And are you saying the Vice grips should loosen the screws, or it is to...

17” Wheels w/new rear Michelins

$350. Wheels located in San Francisco. Great deal. The tires alone are worth more.

Yes, that was my theory as well. I went to a 40wt oil but didn’t really notice much difference.

As described below, I’ve had a 1341 CEL issue for over a year. Exhaust cam timing. The interesting part is that the car always runs great. And if the CEL is fully cleared with the Porsche Durametric...
