Hi every one,

Fixed all the problem, left only with the hard start.
1- the cover in the back cabin was making the noise.
2- motor mount was dead
3- spark plug tubes
4- put new speakers

5- Hot start problem.
1-4 fixed alone diy at home.
I talked with the Porsche garage and they want a lot of money for the diagnostics, not talking about parts....

So, I think maybe it's better and will cost me less if I'll change the must common parts that involved with this problem. Maybe it sound stupid but paying 500$ for diagnostics sound more stupid to me. I already bought a new fuel pump. So, crank sensor will be next? what more to eliminate the problem?

Thanks for the advice.
Yaron

in the cabin there is a plastic cover under the carpet that covers the the jack there. when you hit a bump on the road it makes noise.

Which cabin, what cover, what jack?
Isn't the jack in the front trunk inside the spare wheel?
Are we talking about a Boxster here?
