Just like to offer a few comments to new owners of 996's that I have experienced so far w/ my 01 C4 w/ 83k purchased in 12/13.
I'm a DYI street rodder/motor head since the 50's & could probably disassemble a small block chev blindfolded but the 996 ,--a whole nuther critter to which I'm a noob ---nothing like our 356B from 1962.
Never had to remove mufflers to replace park plug tubes before !
My biggest education so far has been this site--thanks ! , a book purchased from Amazon--"996 The Essential Companion" , & spending $50 for a OBDII code reader from Harbor freight .
These three items I would highly recommend to any 996 owner .
This last weekend a CEL came on & the code reader along w/ the book told me it was P1118 , bank 2 after CC oxygen sensor . Whew ! not a critical issue ! I got rid of the CEL to see how long it takes to reappear .
The book also told me to verify the error code by swapping the sensor w/ the opposite bank whereby if the reader changed to that bank , the sensor was indeed bad .It also told me the problem could be the SAI --great stuff I never could have figured out .
One question--the manual says I should have a clock ?? The **** is there but I can't seem to make it appear ?
Also, for you guys w/ black cars , there's an interesting article in the latest Hot Rod mag about how to apply & care for black paint . Now that all of you seasoned veterans have nodded off , that's my story for now.
