Top Down, 1-95 in Palm Beach... Cough Cough - Codes, Rough Idle, Erie Rattle

[986Eve]

Thank you Blue62 for the thoughts. I appreciate your knowledge.

Logically, it seemed like bad fuel. Mechanically this car has run perfect. Like new and has been babied.

The odd part is the sudden change in performance the moment the new fuel was added.

Gonna swap the coil and see whats up - will update here in a bit.

[husker boxster]

Since you now have codes for all 3 cyl on bank 2, swapping a coil on the same side will not prove anything. You'll need to swap it to bank 1 for an effective test. Clean up the plug you took out and put it back in the original cyl you took it out of. It sounds like you just threw a random spark plug into your car and that's not good.

Bad gas would not selectively choose to foul just bank 2 cyls.

[986Eve]

You da man Husker. Thank you. I thought about this when swapped 4 to 6 - the coil.

So an hour ago I swap the coil from 4 to 6 and she is worse. Same condition as the original but now the check engine light flashes continuously.

Using Touque Lite I have no current codes driving around the block twice.

Pending Codes are...

P1319
P1318
P1316
P1317

In that order.

I will clean up the original plug back in. It looks good. I plan to put all new premium plugs in due time.

I will swap the coil to the other side in an hour or so.

I have Torque Light and Scan Master Pro is not connecting. Are there other features to this app to help diagnose the issue?

There is a possibility - very small that I put the wrong gas in. That pump has 3 handles... 6 buttons and it's hot as hell. I even checked the receipt, and I'm fairly certain I bought premium. It's worth noting. If it was easy, i would drain every drop of fuel to eliminate that possibility.

Kindly - check out this link... https://www.renntech.org/topic/32676-p1316-p1317-p1318-p1319/

This guy changed the MAF, the air intake tube looked loose on the throttle body. After wriggling it around he found it to be disconnected. Should I clean the MAF and inspect the air intake tube on the throttle body?

The pending codes are telling you the same thing the other codes told you.
You have misfires on all 3 cylinders of one bank.
The misfires are damaging to the CAT.

Bad fuel will affect all 6 cylinders not just 3 on the same side so it is not bad fuel.
Same with the MAF its not the MAF leave it alone
Same with the air intake tube its not the air intake tube leave it alone.
It is some thing that affects just one bank one the engine.

If you drained the fuel and changed it or cleaned or changed the MAF
Or this or that with the throttle body or air tube.
You would be doing things that are most likely not related to the problem.
A lot of wasted time, wasted money, and the possibility of creating further unrelated problems.
And doing nothing to fix the current misfire problem.

You said in your first post that you have fair mechanical ability.
This is not a slam on you BUT
you are not following the simplest most basic diagnostic procedures.

You are welcome.

And yes, I was fairly buzzed and simply didn't think about swapping the coil or to the other side. Quite honestly, I get distracted with the women trying to pick me up in the driveway.

Okay, got done with morning workout and going to swap #4 to #3 and update. Thank you and thanks to everybody for thinking.

At the moment, there's a blonde with enormous F's patrolling the edge of the driveway with a little dog... waiting. I do know there's a lot of distractions here. :dance:

Allright. Now I'm laughing my azz off. 986EVE is pure gold. We need him, OMG.

[986Eve]

I appreciate that.

Thankfully my other girl has a RS2.

Else I'd care...

Nice to know where to find douches though.

[Starter986]

"... an access door...".

"... cheap autolight double platinum..."

"... has been babied".

That doesn't reconcile. You say the car has been babied... yet you don't know how to access the spark plugs? The car hasn't been babied if you don't know how to reach its heart (engine).

Cheap autolite...? There's a difference between cheap and inexpensive. You don't go cheap with a baby.

You say you will "investigate". You might consider doing some reading... get to know your car better. I would recommend The 101 Projects book (that will be a big help, and will mitigate the "mystery" of our cars. Also... pick up the service manual.)

Finally... read every new post that pops up in this, the best, 986 forum. So many wise minds are resident here. In a year you'll be upon these pages answering newbie questions Yup).

Pics. Post pics.

[986Eve]

Ummm... Starter Bro I bought the car 5 thousand miles ago. I get laid. I also learned that criticizing is a great way to alienate people. Something tells me you haven't read How to Win Friends and Influence people. Respectfully, I'm too busy keeping the really hot women of Palm Beach happy to read every post. I'd rather ask an expert and not reinvent the wheel.

I'm hoping the wit and wisdom of other men that actually get pussy will help me out... and some divine intervention would be appreciated as well.

Okay, I held back long enough. If ‘getting pussy’ is your motivation for getting your car fixed I think you have bigger issues than throwing CEL codes.

Listen to guys like Starter986, blue62 and anyone else willing to steer you in the right direction, but the idea of You doing some research here is the right idea. Having someone else do your home work for you will never get you the knowledge you need to correct the litany of problems your car is exhibiting.

Chasing pussy is one thing, being one is a whole other issue.

BTW, repeatedly telling everyone how often you get laid grows tiresome very fast. This may be news to you but everyone has sex. Some of us just have better discretion about when and where we discuss it.

[986Eve]

Umm... I'm on an island. In paradise. This is end game. That's all I need the car for...

I've obviously done some research... and I've owned a **************** load of F-150s with 5.4 3 valves. I'm not a douche. The problem is douchy.

Politely, no... most dudes don't get hot pussy. And that is probably why the man is arguing and criticizing. And yes this car is one of those in Paradise with that girl that everyone wants. It's not chasing pussy, it's attracting pussy and showing men how it's done. And Yes, that is quite important.

Respectfully, what the fuk else is the car used for?

thank god someone else said it.

And why does this guy think that his $5,000 20 year old boxster is impressing anyone?
