... Porsche made the change from the 124 to the 125 in mid-year production of the 2000 cars. It could very well be that Blackboxst's car had the 124 and the DME will not recognize the 125 until it gets remapped. That could explain why both MAFs don't work. They're both 125s. Blackboxst should try plugging in a 124 to see if it runs. Happy Boxstering, Pedroby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum
... in the cluster are connected using a very flimsy ribbon cable that isn't even soldered to the circuit board. This ribbon cable is glued onto the PCB and can fail in older cars subject to age and heat. Unfortunately it's almost impossible to repair. If you open the cluster the other two gauges (digital odometer and digital clock) are likely to fail as well. I just tried repairing one from a '9by Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum

... work for a week or so until they come off due to washing and or the elements. The only ones that work are industrial products that are sprayed onto the headlight and bond with the acrylic, forming a UV clear coat that lasts a few years. As far as I know, no one has packaged a good quality UV clearcoat in an aerosol can for DIY'ers. This is the system I use: Happy Boxstering, Pedroby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum

... will not harm the car. The engine management system will just run with it's default mode and will not alter the mixture when conditions change. This will make the mileage drop a bit, but it won't hurt anything. I know, I had my MAF disconnected for several years. There are several factors that can cause the symptoms in your car.

... leave it in place. If you're using a positive pressure system such as the Motive Bleeder just put a liter of fresh fluid in it, hook it up to the reservoir and flush everything through. The way I see it why suction anything out if it's better to flush it through.

... mine is 13.5 years old with over 205,000 miles and is still the OEM. As I've stated in the past, I truly believe that most of the failures are due to over expansion of the plastic due to air in the system. Happy Boxstering, Pedroby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum
... something that you ran over and stuck to your headers thereby smoking and alerting you with it's odor. In order for you to see smoke come out of the passenger's side vent it means that the smoke was generated outside the engine, not inside. It could have been a small coolant vent which happens to be right in front of the right rear wheel and could reach the headers where it would create steamby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum

... the vibration and high heat from the cats will loosen them in no time. The OEM fasteners are quarter-turn, locking fasteners that rely on the clip's spring action in order to lock in place.

... first hand knowledge of this, but I was told that they used a Halls Effect Sensor. Could be that they don't. Some sensors just measure the density change as the oil goes up or down.
