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

Hello,.I trust that 20 PSI of cranking fuel pressure 0n a 02' boxster 2.7 is NOT enough to start it,..I researched the form and I found where it's suppose to be 3.3 Bar,..which i think is to equal 30-35 PSI,it was hard to start 2-3 times last week./and now will not start at all, but really tries to,It sputters and pop's a lot then it just crank's, Thank's ,for the help...Frank

PSI times 14.504 equals bar...... so 3.3 bar would be 47.86 psi
