Thank you, very interesting. I recently purchased a Foxwell scanner, probably at your suggestion. I’ve used it only to clear the CEL. Are you able to see the timing change on the scanner?

thank you. Could they have tested the solenoid before replacing it? They also claimed a failed actuator is extremely rare.

Thanks. I asked the shop whether the solenoid was bad. They concluded it must have been because it was not moving the actuator at all when they first tested it. After replacing, it does move but not...

Yes, kind of what I am thinking. Both #1 and #2. Once they replace the computer and the car is still throwing the 1341 CEL, it’ll be interesting to hear plan C.

The shop claims that when an actuator fails, it often “fries” the Computer. But as I say, this car runs perfectly. Low rpm and high rpm. They are installing a used computer today and presumably the...

No mention of cams being out of time. Wouldn’t the car run differently if they were? And yes, I don’t get how a fried computer would allow the car to run completely normally. Much less still able to...

Failed Actuator causes fried ‘computer’.

Brought my car to a relatively high end Porsche shop, tho they seem to be more about racing than repairing old Boxsters. Anyway, the car was throwing a 1341 CEL. After they replaced the actuator,...

I just received the Foxwell. I haven’t done much with it except clearing the CEL. Certainly easy to use.

No, I think are right. Thank you. Yes, the CEL did return a few days later. I went through the same process but this time, the idle wasn’t really rough to start with. I cleared the CEL and there was...

Sorry, I asked too many questions. Are you saying the oil cap leaking can effect the idle or cooling issues or both?

Def track arms

Just had them replaced on my car 2 weeks ago. I went with “upgraded” arms recommended by my shop. They certainly look beefier than OEM, but who knows. They cost about half of the OEM parts tho.
