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.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a '01 996 cab, and during a short drive today, the check engine light came on. Any self maintainace things I can check? Will it re-set itself, or can I re-sent it. The manual says it's still OK to drive. Correct? The cars feels fine. No smoke, no bad idle or rough engine at any RPM. Thanks!

O2 Sensors would be a good start... I'd get the durametric setup it pays for itself many times over. Cheers Aaron

POST 4Original post

Had same problem with my '99 996. Smoke test of the engine revealed very small vacuum leak which was easily corrected (although a little spendy).

POST 6Original post

The same guy posted his fault code here http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?t=443140 a couple of days later. So apparently he has at least done his first step towards a fix: DIAGNOSIS of the problem. I don't think random guesses will add any value here. If a fault occors that triggers the CEL you need to read out the fault code(s) and then work from there. A CEL can mean literally hundreds of different things. Shotgunning will not get you anywhere. It's like saying: "I am in pain" and someone answering:"Hey, my bro had pain too a couple of years ago and it turned to be an ulcer. Try drinking lots of milk and you might be fine" ...... (sorry, couldn't help it)
