1999 986 2.5 with empty DME, help needed!
I have a 1999 2.5 boxster and it has given me lots of fun driving. But not anymore... Two weeks ago I tried to start it and nothing happened. the dash lights came on but the starter motor refused to turn over. Also I couldn't hear the start relay click. My initial thougt was that the key was no longer recognized by the car. I towed it to the dealer. He suspected the ingnition. (It was rather worn) and replaced it to no avail. Then he hooked up the computer. the key was recognized by the car. When cheking the DME we found that it was completely empty! All data that should have been stored was reset to 0! Even the VIN and motor number were gone! We reprogrammed the VIN and motor number into the DME but still no starter motor. We checked the clutch switch (it is a USA model) and even bypassed it. Still nothing. It drives me crazy, finally we are getting some sunshine and the car sits in the shop not running.
Does anyone recognizes this, what caused it, how to solve it?
Any help is much appreciated!!!
