Waterlogged 99 Boxster

[ARModen]

yeah I am going to be checking the spark and injectors when I get home. Most likely it is something that is disabling all the cylinders otherwise it'd be running and I'd get misfire codes.

The things that throw codes and the things that do not are hard to reconcile sometimes.

crank sensor takes a crap - no codes
Leaky head gasket - no codes
new gas cap - codes
dirty MAF - codes

Go figure!

Nightly update: Checked injectors and they are getting a timing signal so that's one more part that is working! I'll swap the ignition switch tomorrow, and if that's not it, then it'll be on to the crank sensors.

Slow and methodical is the best way!

One guy suggested doing a compression test of the cylinders. Is there anyway that there could be gasket/valve/piston ring issues that would cause all of this? I had no smoke and my coolant and oil are both pretty clean.

That would be way further down on my list, I think you are on the right track looking at the electronics of the systems first.

Tonight's piece of the car that is working just fine: the ignition switch. On to something else.

Anyone want to buy a 99 boxster? I can swear that 90% of the car works flawlessly!
