Re: Secondary air pump problem - 6 days ago
The SAI has become an issue because of the age of the vehicles. The easiest thing is to eliminate the air pump and reprogram the ECU to the RoW spec, but that's not legal in CA. BTW, CA is the only state that required the SAI but Porsche said that they would not ship two different versions to USA, so everyone else get stuck with the system! The SAI is turned on by the ECU during cold starts, so tby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum

... where most of our members are more of the Sportscar persuasion rather than the Sedans but maybe one of them has a Panamera or has heard of this issue. I have not, so I'm afraid I'm not able to help much with this noise. Generally whines come from gears, so think transmission/transfer case. But since you hear the whine at idle, without moving, I would discard the transfer case and look into thby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum

Re: I hope all our members are safe after Helene's visit - 3 months ago
I live just north of the city of Tampa and at 60 feet above sea level so we were high and dry with only a few strong gusts of wind and a few squallls of rain. On the other hand, people in South Tampa, St Pete and Sarasota among others, got the worst of the flooding.

Sad news... - 4 months ago
... The Boxster community lost another great enthusiast. I just learned that my dear friend Tommy Uzzo from New York passed away on the 6th. He had a very well taken care of 1997 Boxster that was his pride and joy. Some years ago he had fought cancer and the Boxster was his therapy once he was cancer free.

P1133 & P1126 errors. - 4 months ago
Those errors indicate too much air in the system (vacuum leak). Carefully check all your connections in the intake. If it's not obvious you can start the engine in idle and pinpoint-spray starter fluid or carb cleaner around all of the rubber fittings. When you hit the leak the idle speed will accelerate.

Re: Debby - 5 months ago
Debby played nice with us. Not so with the folks further south between Sarasota and Ft Myers. Some communities there are still flooded. The head of the Anclote River is just 1/2 a mile from us so all of our excess rain water that overflows our rain ponds go to the river which empties in Tarpon Springs on the Gulf. Wind wasn't bad here either. We had a few 60 mph gusts which didn't do any damage.by Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum

... since in my book they "Jumped the Shark" some time ago, but now doubled up by announcing the death of the ICE Boxster/Cayman platforms. I think Porsche went all-in, too quickly with electrification and it will backfire on them. In Europe it's mandated but elsewhere in the world it will take time for the consumer to accept alternative power for their cars. At least we still have a choiceby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum

Re: 97 tiptronic, cannot unlock doors manually or with remote - 7 months ago
I'm confused. The 986's emergency frunk emergency cable is not in the front left wheel well, it's under the front right headlamp. The 987s have the cable release in the front left wheel well. Even if the remote doesn't work and the battery is dead you should be able to open the left door with the physical key. If the driver's door doesn't work, many of the '97s also have a key-operated door lockby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum
