Thank You to all of you for your input. I was hoping to pull the wiring harness and ohm it out. That's why I was going to pull the engine deck lid and look at connectors to pull. Trouble shooting with the wiring harness still in the car will be very difficult, but not impossible. Ill have the wifey help with the engine revs while I look at the wiring harness. Ill also check the connector pinsby gpbud - Main Forum
Yes, The CEL comes on when ignition does but goes out while it is runnng, I tried the E-gas cal, and I have re-seated all connectors on the ECU and the associated wiring harness. No luck as of yetby gpbud - Main Forum
Yes, The CEL lights when the ignition switch is turned on. After I start the engine it goes out and all seems normal until I try to rev the engine. I tried the E-gas cal and unfortunately it didn't help. As much as I hate to say it, yes it does seem like an open wiring issue. Even worse I cant get the top open to pull the deck lid to look into the engine bay. (convertible top not openinby gpbud - Main Forum
OK, I have reseated all the connectors to the ECU and the wiring harness to the left of it. The car is still only going to 2000 rpm. Do you guys have any other suggestions.by gpbud - Main Forum
Will I need to disconnect the battery to pull the connectors on the ECU, or is it ok to reseat the connector plugs with the battery connected. Dont want to blow anything.by gpbud - Main Forum

I have a 2000 986 Boxster that had the top fail to open. (more questions on that later) I took a look in the trunk and pulled the liner back and wiggled connectors and checked for tightness of relays and then the car would only go to 2000 rpm. I pulled the liner again and all looked well and it would run normally. I put the liner back in again and it was back to only 2000 rpm. I have lookedby gpbud - Main Forum
