Camshaft position sensor is ok, but only running on 3 cylinders at the moment because the Car has jumped time.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

This was great times today. Our cars , well there amazing. I'm restoring mine still, just limping around basically. But Hey, Let me tell you I had my first ride in a healthy 996 just now, moments ago. I'm hooked, I bought my 996 to restore, she is very unhealthy at the moment, but Iam is very knowledgeable, very friendly and he will help me iron the rest out. His 996 runs amazing, It runs better than every Corvette that I've ever owned, I've had c3, c4, and a c5 z06. The pure refinement and handling of these 996 cars is very satisfying, It gave me chill bumbs, no lie. Anyway thanks IaM
I can't wait, I've pored a lot of time , money and blood into this 996. I mean my hands are all cut up, bruised and there still a ton of oil under my fingernails. But hey This is worth it, it's good fun for us devil Dogs. This is my Dream Car, I've always wanted a Porsche, but I waited to long to buy, when I started looking, I was looking air cooled, well that's just out of my budget. I did not want to settle for anything less , it had to have Carrera on the back. I'm glad that I was able to acquire this 996. It's a foot in the door in the right direction , I'm glad that I see now, just what I have on my hands, and it'll fly , one day soon, cam sensor here you come, my way .
After We Go threw the suspension after the sensor and after the engine mounts, then she will be like new, like brand new, I can't wait. I'm about to start ordering more parts. I know with the popping front end and rear noise that there something going on. We will find it, Good stuff, Good Times!!
What engine mounts would anyone recommend?? Upgrade to something that will hold some power, something that want give much, something that want give any. Stock? I have some serious sagging tailpipes.

i think it depends on what you're looking for. The aftermarket ones can increase the tight feeling of the car but you'll also experience more NVH. I personally replaced mine with Rein OEM mounts that I got for dirt cheap on Amazon. My TechArt exhaust is loud enough I didn't want to increase the NVH any more.
Well guys, I ordered a set of torque solutions semi solid mounts, I have the sensor coming also, South Carolina guy, were not that far apart but we are down south, IaM is headed to Japan soon, we are heading back to Oceanside soon tho
I installed the semi solid mounts and had some unpleasant vibrations in the heart of my usual RPM range for cruising (3-4K). I went back to OEM (Rein) mounts, which were relatively inexpensive and IMO much better for a cab.
BTW, nice story about meeting a fellow 996 enthusiast.
Thanks, I have these coming as of now, everything I've read is Pretty good stuff. I'll welcome any changes. They should be here Friday. We can't seem to find the bank 1 camshaft position sensor
Nah, patience is a virtue that is for normal folks, we aren't normal in anyway. If it gets in the way we move it, if it threatens we neutralize it. If a car makes a Marine angry, it gets destroyed, lol
Really foolish in your eyes but for me it wasn't, it's my car, it's my money, It's my loss, this car was nothing but a toy for me. When toys are broke and Walmart want fix it you toss it or burn it. That's basically the way I feel about it, I mean, hey I couldn't get any help, I tried. BUT LISTEN MY WIFE A HAS RECOVERED THE CAR FOR ME. I dropped the car this a.m. I came home and have been Very Very upset. Well she made some phone calls and the car will be back tomorrow, LUCKILY!! So this is , 1 more shot for the car to corporate with me.

Guy I'm so so sorry for all the Drama and Dramatic events that has happened, the Car is now safe back in my garage. I guess that's a safe place, but it wasn't a safe place yesterday morning for sure. I'm going to step away from her until I can find someone that can help me. I'm working with jetski tools. So very frustrating, I have a guy that supposedly a good mechanic by word of mouth , so I've touched base with him this a.m. He is going to try and help me. If anyone wants to lend a helping knowledgeable hand we are in Beaufort South Carolina
Lol, I'm on the right Coast at the moment, , I'll be coming back home left Coast soon, forgive me, I'm very very new to Porsche. So Names , I don't know who is important and who's not yet.
Lets keep a few rounds in the magazine there Hotrod. Doesn't all need to come down in one day/week/month. Give it some recon and take it as it comes.
ho-rah. Raby also a Marine.
I've gained that knowledge about the infamous Raby Marine, Amazing Im sure we have crossed paths and walked in each other's footprints. I wish I could afford his time.
