cheers

Thanks. It was right in front of my eyes and then it was gone. I will try to see this morning in the light of day but if not thanks, will be adding it to my orders. I am trying to get a vid of the car driving but can't get my wife to cooperate and hold the camera. Will have to figure out another way. Thanks.

Sounds like a good excuse to buy a Go-Pro

I just ordered one of these based on reviews.

The car needs to be smog. However I have not had the car into the dealer yet to be re-programmed. There is an airbag light on and two OBDII codes (see below). I would imaging after "programming" these things may go away? Don't know but am planning on taking the car to Redline in Orange County or another Indie or the Dealer and have them put a computer on the car. Good idea or bad? I was able to clear the codes with my reader but they came back immediately. Here in CA. they only do a computer smog that reads the ECU, no longer do they put something in the tail pipe. So all the codes need to not be active. I have a similar issue with my M5 as it is throwing a code too.

Thanks. It appears the small clip is on the key tumbler.

The part number you have above is for the metal rod that is used to place into a hole behind the clip I need.




The number #4 is the number you reference. I need either #2 or the whole switch #1. If it's #1 that will be pretty expensive just for that clip.

StormRune

I'm pretty certain the clip you've misplaced is there just to cosmetically round out the trim ring around the ignition key slot. I can't imagine how it would be functionally important so I'd just recommend letting it go. I doubt anyone will notice it is missing... other than you of course I expect it may turn up one day, but be sure to pay attention when you vacuum around that area. I'd say you have bigger fish to fry for the foreseeable future.

BTW, under the seats is a recessed area in the floor that some electronic module sits in. I had something fall down under the seat once and was having trouble finding it. It turned up in there.

StormRune

It appears that both of your codes are oxygen sensor ones. I was hoping they were the same sensor but I see they are not.You likely know all this, but just in case:
Our cars apparently use electrically heated oxygen sensors to get the sensors hot faster. The first message appears to be saying that bank 1 sensor 1 heater isn't working. The second is just saying that bank 2 sensor 1 is never reporting anything other than full lean.

I'd guess the first course of action would be just to make sure they are plugged in and the wires haven't been pinched/cut and/or shorted, which my Googling says could cause both of these. If the wires and plugs all check out, the only thing left I'd think would be to replace those two sensors. I'd think the other possible causes I see are much less likely since it sounds like the engine is running okay.

ocmacman

Thanks Storm. Just bought these sensors last month. I'll check the plugs and see if they are solid.

Got one coming today so hopefully will be able to get some decent video for everyone.

So today I tried out my GOPro clone action camera. I have to get some suction mounts as I had to clip the camera on the sunroof. Well the point was to get some video out to all my subscribers. The car sounds good. I am in the last stages of putting the car into service. I am going to take it to my indie this week for some programming and final once over. I will probably have them set the key issue straight. I think it's the shifter but running up against the clock here with the California Festival of Speed coming up soon. I have to get the car ready. Well here is a short vid of a drive around in the car. Oh, we are just coming out of a drought here in Cali so no comments on the lawn. I am doing my part for the drought.



I am hoping everything comes back ok from the indie shop. I have budgeted for some "professional" repairs as well. However I like working on the thing. Will update once the car is back from the shop.

ocmacman

Today the car went to Redline Porsche in Orange County California. They do fantastic work there. Jim is a miracle worker. He has a ton of Porsches in his care. I feel quite comfortable bringing my creation to him. I am going to have him put on the diagonal strut braces (yeah I could have did this but ..), Also have him check the transmission fluid level, fix the key issue where it doesn't come out. I think this may be a shifter issue and so does he. I'll also have him put the car on a computer and reset the airbag light.

Once I get a clean ppi from him I'll take the car for smog and then it's off to the paint shop. Will keep you guys up to date. He will probably have the car for a few days.

She's coming along nicely!! Are you going to do a full repaint? What color?

Congrats on the reward for your hard work!
