Sorry to hear this. However, on another note, I love the 964 board. Just how the hell do you know how to do this stuff? I'm amazed by some of the posts on this board and the level of technical knowledge regarding engines and automotive engineering. I sometimes feel like everyone on Rennlist has a full mechanic's workshop in their garage and a masters degree in mechanical engineering. Amazing! I'll make myself feel better by perusing the 991 board. Seems in those parts my ability to swap my own wheels makes me a 'roll up my sleeves' kinda dude with vast automotive knowledge.

Time to roll up the sleve. You will feel much better after the hard work.
Hope you can find the cause/fault quickly and be back on the road soon.

Removed the bumper in preparation for dropping the engine. Had trouble with the long hex socket bolts that hold the bumper on, so I pulled the shock absorbers.

It surprises me with the number of people that remove the two long bolts versus the four short bolts. The shocks slide in and out and hold the bumper in place as you slowly pull it off the back. Worked like a charm

Starting to document the plugs and what goes back where for the pending engine drop.
There are 7 connections in the back left area. I'm aware of the O2 sensor, but what is the small hose at the top, the green connector, the white connector, the large round black connector, the larger hose nearer the bottom, and the small black connector at the back?
I also read here that Jason Andreas found to be able to disconnect the throttle cable at the throttle body. I know it has to disconnect here:
But then there is this bracket I need to deal with. How so?
Thanks,
Peter

This would be the connector help I'm looking for: http://forums.rennlist.com/upload/oxy2.jpg
Can you help me identify them, other than the O2 sensor?

The connectors on the left bracket, the white one is the cylinder heat temp sensor, the black one is the flywheel sensor, and the green one is the bank 1 knock sensor. The larger hose and smaller hose w/ hose clamps are vacuum related (your car is a C2, right?). The one w/ the fitting toward the bottom is the fuel return line, you can follow it back to the fuel pressure regulator that resides under the intake plenum halves. The circular clip/bracket thing is the cruise control connector.
As far as disconnecting the throttle cable, open the throttle and push that plastic clip up and out of the metal piece. Once it is popped out, then you can route the cable out the side of the metal piece.
^you can see the slot in this pic of an tiptronic 964 throttle body, it's right above the F in FVD.
Here's the plastic piece.
Squeeze it from behind and push it through. It's 964.423.435.00.
Once that is free, you can pull out the cable by pushing that grommet you posted a pic of through the metal bracket.
Here's the cable unit.

My experience here is kinda weird because I haven't dropped an engine. I have, however, taken apart everything including the engine shroud and up while the motor was in place.
My C2 vs C4 question is because the C2 will have additional vacuum lines at the back of the plenum and through that side bracket for the brake booster. C4s don't have some of those lines since the booster is hydraulic via the electric pump in the front tub.
