Re: No Crank/Start

Guys sorry not getting back to you sooner, but freaking LIFE and COVID! The issue turned out to be a bad immobiliser under the driver's seat of the car. Sent it off to get repaired and it started right up after installing the rebuilt unit! Just wanted to update everyone in case anyone was having the...

Re: No Crank/Start

I haven't thought about changing the battery inside the key head, that is an easy fix. The $10 ignition switch is next on my list, and might be able to get that done this weekend if all goes well. I live in the Phoenix, Arizona area, and have a several awesome indy shops in my area, if I can't figur...

No Crank/Start

Howdy gentlemen, It's been a while since I have posted here, but I've been busy working on my 2001. Finally was able to get the new engine installed, however, when I go to start it, NOTHING. No Crank at all. It's a manual so, I bypassed the clutch switch and still no crank/start. My key still locks ...

Re: 3.4 Carrera 4 tip motor

Update guys:

The insurance company hasn't yet agreed to my valuation, so all is on hold for now...

3.4 Carrera 4 tip motor

Looks like I will be parting out my 2000 Carrera 4 Tip :( The motor is a 3.4 which was rebuilt with a valve job, new IMS, RMS, and AOS about 15,000 miles ago. Located in Gilbert (Phoenix) Arizona, any offers before I eBay it from my 996outpost friends?

996 Mark 1 - Clock & Oil Level not working

Over the weekend my clock/oil level gauge in the dash stopped working. I tried to do a little research on the issue, but it looks as if the only forum posts deal with lawnmower 911's clocks (replace the light bulb behind the dash).

Anyone have a fix for this, or it is Buy A New Dash time?

Brian :)

Re: Windows dropping

When you open the passenger door, the window will go down, then back up fully. You have to pull the handle, shut the door then release the handle.... AUGGHHHH... Today while I was opening the passenger door to pull a suite case out of the back, the doors locked and the horned sounded twice on me! I ...
