The car ran perfect before i replaced the pipe so it has to be something that i did while replacing it.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, Im new here and I just purchased a 1997 Boxster. It had a vacuum leak that I finally found at the oil fill pipe which had multiple cracks. I ordered a new one and just installed it (BIG PAIN). The problem im having now is that when started car idles fine but does nothing when I press the throttle. The car ran perfect before i replaced the pipe so it has to be something that i did while replacing it. The only thing I had to do to get enough room was remove the pipe from the AOS and I had to remove the secondary air injection pump. Can anyone help me figure out what i did to cause this?

POST 2Original post

Is the throttle cable properly resting on the springy thingy? I don't know the technical name of that part. Pull the top engine cover and inspect the throttle cable. Have someone push on the gas pedal while you observe what's happening under the "hood". You'll figure it out. Why did you remove the secondary pump? That sounds unnecessary? I didn't when I replaced my 98 AOS. Curious.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
