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

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.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi everyone, Just bought my first Porsche and have some problems already: My 996 3.4 is getting the following fault codes; P1124 Oxygen sensing range 1 Cylinder (1-3) P1126 Oxygen sensing range 1 Cylinder (4-6) P0441 Fuel tank ventilation minor leak exceeds limit value P0130 O2 sensor ahead of cat. conv. Cylinder (1-3) Idles quite poorly, when driving feels normal, at least what I can tell. MAF and one oxygen sensor has been replaced, no noticeable change. With my mates Durametric, we got these values; Oxygen sensing cylinders 1-3 1,00 Oxygen sensing cylinders 4-6 1,25 - after some 10 minutes idle these both go to about same values; 1,03/1,04 FRA 1,03 FRA2 1,04 TRA 0,00 TRA2 0,35 What should I check next (possible vacuum leak)? Thanks for help.

POST 2Original post

That is where you should have started as none of the sensors needed to be replaced, but the codes were telling you that the DME had reached its enrichment limit on both banks. That means you have a vacuum leak that affects both banks.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 9301770

Is it possible that evap purge valve is faulty, and causes a vacuum leak affecting the afr ratio at idle?

POST 4Original post

That would constitute a vacuum leak, but I would check it first before assuming it is bad.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 9302033

So I did the following things: 1. Removed the evap valve from it's place and plugged both ends from the hose that goes into the intake manifold - No effect on idle 2. Tried blowing through the evap valve - No leaks so i guess that's working ok (or atleast not leaking) 3. Tried to use start pilot to look for the leaks near the throttle body - Couldn't find any leaks Should I use a smoke machine now? What's the best place to put smoke into the engine to look for leaks (Throttle body, oil filler tube)? What other things should i check? What are the symptoms for bad aos?

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I pumped smoke to the engine via the oil filler tube and the only place I could find that the smoke was coming from was through the sides of throttle body plate. Is there a way to check that idle control valve is functioning properly?

POST 7Original post

I am throwing those exact same codes. Did you ever get the problem sorted out? If so, what was wrong?
