'02 Boxster S TLC.

Thanks for checking in. I'm standing here next to the car reading my multimeter's manual to understand if it can give me a millisecond reading on the injectors, or just a duty cycle.

Today I confirmed that all the coils are firing across a 2cm gap. I confirmed one side of the car that this is the case no matter which connector I plug the coil into. So I'm confident that it has spark on all 6 cylinders.

I'm toying with the idea of taking off the manifold to inspect it, as well as to hopefully be able to see a valve moving within the inlet port which I can hopefully use to check the timing of the cams. I doesn't look easy though...

And have also been doing a job that no one should ever have to do...


And also derived a bizarre amount of satisfaction detailing one particular spot on the car.


I received the decals for my calipers so that's now waiting for me to get time.



Here she sits. Still!


p.s. 2016 is 75 minutes old here - HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy new year to you too!!!

You will probably need a noid light to see of the injectors are getting the pulse. A volt meter won't react fast enough:

Have you tried some starting ether in the intake to see if you get fire when cranked??? If you have spark, it might fire and show you have no fuel.

I would do a smoke test on the intake before you pull the manifold. I am also chasing a hard to start and think I have a vacuum leak. I will make this as shown in the video to check the intake and hoses:

it's a bit hard to start cold but really hard to start hot.
