To confirm , you will need to trace the wiring to the correct Sensor/location....OR disconnect a Sensor and wait for the code to pop up to see if the correct code poped for the Sensor that you unplugged...

I had the crossover pipes off to replace a water pump and then also pulled the trans due to an issue with a used flywheel.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Suggestion

I have seen people install cross-over pipes and accidentally switch the wiring for the 02 sensors...( the wiring is long enough on some cars to reach the wrong position)....This does NOT cause an 02 Sensor code ( or any code) but the car will absolutely run like trash after a few minutes...

Recently I've started getting a check engine light, but using durametric or foxwell to look there are no codes other the tip can vus timeout after the swap.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Recently I've started getting a check engine light, but using durametric or foxwell to look there are no codes other the tip can vus timeout after the swap. I have changed to 200 cel cats and am wondering g if that could be the issue. I'm thinking about changing to a row tune, but until then does anyone have any ideas how to capture these codes? Its kind of embarrassing to jump in with an instructor at hpde only.to ha e the car look like it's not reliable.

POST 2Original post

Keep a scan tool with you and check for codes when the CEL illuminates. Don�t shut the car off until you get a code.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Been driving around with it hooked up and immediately doing a read. No joy.

POST 4Original post

Sounds pretty straight forward to me.....you did a Tip to 6 speed swap but have not reprogrammed the DME for 6 speed....The DME is looking for info from the TIP ECU and when it finally gives up, it pops the CEL ... You will need to get a PIWIS and get your IPAS codes and re-program for 6 speed.......or take it to you Local Friendly Porsche Center ...

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Other guys who have done the swap haven't reflashed to a manual tune. I'm thinking it has to do with the top gun 200 cel crossovers.

POST 6Original post

Quotes source post: 19884457

It will depend on the year model......the earlier cars have a much smaller CAN Network than the later cars.... When the CEL pops up, there will be a code...What is this code ?? If the code is for CAN Network then that is your issue...

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It's an 03, and the problem is i immediately check with a foxwell. Ive been driving the car for 6 months since the trans swap and this didn't happen before. I had the crossover pipes off to replace a water pump and then also pulled the trans due to an issue with a used flywheel. Now all of a sudden I'm getting g this weird behavior. I'll get my piwis out and see if I can dig deeper. And, BTW, i do already have my iPas codes. Just been waiting g u t I didn't have any planned events to try and shoot a manual program I to the ecu.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Already did that. Ended up replacing both bank 2 that had heater issues. Probably going to just buy 2 new bosch sensors and see if that clears the problem.

POST 10Original post

That�s really weird. Maybe your DME is acting up. Like the brain doesn�t know it has brain damage.

There's definitely some brain damage somewhere ...
