I have this same problem now on my 160,000 mile 2000 Boxster S. It's now in the shop pending being fixed. I haven't seen the quote yet. But it's supposed to be over $10,000. I can go and buy a...

Note that the TPV has slotted mounting holes. This gives some adjustability. I have looked but have not found any guide to how to adjust it. I get that it makes the early ramp come on earlier or...

In trying to figure out what is wrong, I had an old Throttle Position Valve that was known bad. So I cut it open to see what was inside.

Thanks. I hate to say it, but I found my WUR and my Throttle Position Valve were not working properly. I swore I tested them recently and they were fine. But I guess the COVID cloud has been longer...

CIS oddity (at least to me)

My 1973.5 911T is running beautifully. Perhaps better than it has for a decade or more. But it has this one oddity. If I drive it hard, when it comes back to idle, the idle speed is lower and rougher...

Boxster Won't Go Beyond 2nd

My 2000 Boxster S with 6 speed all of a sudden will not go beyond 2nd. It will do R, 1 and 2. But it physically will not move to the right to get to 3-6. Thoughts?!

996 Engine sound in Boxster
