Buying a Mechanically Damaged 986 Boxster S Sight Unseen From Auction...

[@brandonbman5921]

You’ve still got half a tank of 9 year old varnish filling the fuel tank, plugging the filter, probably trashing the fuel pump AND gumming up the injectors.

It blows my mind why people try to start vehicles that have been sitting for years. Gasoline has a sealed shelf life of 3 years. High ethanol fuels much less. If the container that the Gasoline is stored in is not completely sealed. The viability drops off substantially after 3 months.

Bad/clogged Injectors can cause a misfire as badly as a coilpack too. That Boxster S seems like a solid track time car candidate 💪🏼

@Yadperformance Yes, I haven't finished this video yet but I'm betting on bad gas still, coil packs or plugs.

Guys, you don't have to remove the bumper you don't have to remove the wheel. SIMPLY, REMOVE THE FUSE BOX COVER DRIVER SIDE. YOU WILL NOW SEE THE EXPOSED INDIVIDUAL FUSES AND THE PLASTIC FRAME AROUND THE FUSE BOX ITSELF, YOU WILL SEE ABOUT 6 PHILLIPS SCREWS, REMOVE THOSE REMOVE THE FRAME THAT GOES AROUND THE FUSE BOX. AROUND THE UPPER RIGHT YOU WILL SEE WHERE THE CABLE FOR THE FRONT TRUNK RELEASE TRAVELS THROUGH, GRAB A HOLD OF IT AND PULL ON IT, UNTIL YOU HEAR IT CLICK AND OPEN THE FRONT HOOD, THAT'S IT!

These videos are great to watch, especially as someone that plans to buy a 987 Cayman at some point in the relatively near future. Shows that doing your own maintenance on a Porsche isn't as impossible as some people make it out to be, which is relieving and exciting to see.

[@JRGarage]

These cars are quite easy and super solid! Caymans are sweet cars!

[@letsdoit8898]

Yeah.. timing.. sounds like mine when the timing chain guide broke.. so one bank skipped a gear.. since it’s cylinder 1 ,3 and 5.. it’s one bank .. the car throw a blinking engine light.. and goes away and come back again.. and exhaust sounded like a Harley, rough on idle, when in gear sometimes it died coz the engine is down in power.. good luck!! I finally got a Boxster watching you guys!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥.. if you test the compression, you will know one side is holding like 30-35%less than the other bank.. hopefully nothing catastrophic..

[@stampedetrail2003]

Plausible. Checking the used engine oil would probably indicate a worn out chain guide. If it sat for a long time with old oil and not driven that could certainly happen. I would expect if it's out of time though that the engine would self destruct. On my 2000 it was an air oil separator and bad O2 sensor that caused misfires. But if I had to put money on it I'd say it's a bad head gasket on one bank.

[@andrewbryl]

I love the Boxsters. I’ve had 2 of them and they are lots of fun. A bunch of quirks but really punch above their weight for how inexpensive they are.

[@actschp1]

Unplugging the MAF sensor causes the engine to run in speed density. Also, low coolant DTC, plus misfiring on adjacent cyinders leads me to believe it could be a head gasket. I would do a check on the coolant to see if it had engine gases in it. If it is not a head gasket, could be an injector issue on that bank of cylinders. (I highly doubt it skipped time, it wouldn't run on a loss of an entire bank of cylinders) So, in increasing level of difficulty I'd try 1. check coolant for exhaust gas 2. wiring harness to injectors (if the mice got the harness to the water temp sensor, they could have gotten to anything) 3. compression check 4. pull injectors to see if they are dirty

[@JRAviation]

I want part 2 right now

[@MegaFranceschini]

I was rooting for you guys, but you'll get it together. Have fun. Blessings

[@AC_1111]

Chased a similar misfire on my 986 S. Did new coil packs, plugs, maf, swapped packs around to chase the misfire, etc. It up being a leak in intake (similar to what you saw with the intake clamp) where one of the boots wasn’t properly installed all the way around and was sucking in air past the maf. Smoke test found it so quickly!

[@jasondill3615]

You better hurry up and get back to us on the problem! I smile every time I see a new jr garage upload. Don't leave us hanging

[@lowreedman]

I enjoy the cheap Boxster rescue vids. Check wiring to the coil packs. If the mice chewed some of the loom it could explain the misfires. it is also possible to get back packs from time to time. I wouldn't expect that though. Clogged injectors or corroded injectors is a good possibility as well as the crappy gas in the tank. Perhaps drain and clean the tank and filter.

[@nornibres]

Dude, you hit the nail on the head. I have 9 cheaper cars versus one modern 911. Three of them are Boxsters.

[@mickeysingh7735]

Finish the fuel then refill with fresh fuel and add some additives to the fuel system. I recommend you try to get the same type of spark plugs that came out to go back in.

[@RatherBeRestoring]

I would drain the tank and clean the injectors and then go from there..

[@ardakocaman7041]

Keep on doing these cheap porsche rebuild/flips we love watching them and also you can expand your lineup of these but i can't imagine any other car as simple and as reliable than a boxster! You guys should check the fuel injectors for sure and also the wiring goes to them since the coolant temp sensor was tangled with there may be other problems with it too

[@davidnilles3117]

Give me 20 cheap Boxsters. Looks like this one has some unidentified problems. I hope you figure it out. Good video! 👍

[@darylwalford8697]

I already have one 986 so I vote for 20 cheap Porsches vs one Taycan🙂

[@pharmacells]

I've just rebuild a mis-firing Boxster, albeit a 2.5, not a 3.2 S. The issue was the chain guides which are plastic and perish, leading to a stretched chain. The other possibility is the variocam actuator which is designed to change the timing when under load but could be stuck so at low revs, the chain (and therefore the timing) is under incorrect tension.

[@glennarnold3970]

to me that sounds like it has a vacuum leak but i would be checking the TPS switch as well you need to get vcds on a laptop the unlimited car version it be like dealer software for your VAG cars instead of the cheap hand scanner but i be interested on the outcome of this one cheers from down under

[@TheBBodyBuilder]

I would prefer the hoard of cheap Porches over the Taycan.

[@HakaniN1]

Was looking forward to your video mate. This is my therapy

[@stampedetrail2003]

All those misfires, I would definitely change the air oil separator, plugs, and coil packs. Could also be a head gasket of course.

[@Pilootto]

We need more videos its sad to see you guys not uploading like you used to

[@herrrechtschreibpruefung]

Missfire cyl 3 on my 3.4 996. Porsche dealer had put new tensioners in and did the chains back in misaligned by one tooth on the cams. Can be checked with the computer by activating the variocam solenoids

[@petetofani4896]

You know better. When you have the plugs out, you should always do a compression test.

[@DanDan_and_the_boys]

I’d say injectors or possibly the mice chewed through a coil harness and it’s causing misfiring due to that. Likely that it being compression on a lower mile engine is very slim and timing is in the same boat. If it’s not been tampered with and no sig s if tampering then likelihood it’s not that. I’m sure you folks done know what it is and y’all are stringing everyone along for comment and video sake.

[@ultimatetrashgamer8495]

Get that gas out. From what I saw, you put new fuel on top of a half tank of 10 year old gas.

[@meditativemindset2980]

Always check sparks first, if you think its fuel check coil packs, if you think its MAF check coild packs, if you think its something else check electrics first ALWAYS - love the channel BTW - also dont buy Chinese cheap coil packs...

[@waydewynn4191]

Check for more wiring breaks and check the compression.

[@Brettdyt]

Buying a car that sits is risky business, especially from New Jersey. The oil will seep completely out of the engine after about a month. Then the engine parts have no protection, they can start to corrode. Once you try to start it back up, the pistons move and it causes pitting where it removed the rust. You will lose compression and have oil leaks... it is bad news.

[@PapaLunar]

Maybe check if the sparkplugs are calibered correctly or bad injectors need to be checked too.

[@h5mind373]

Since someone changed the spark plugs and managed to put the wrong ones in, maybe they swapped two plug wires while they were at it? I don't even know if that's possible on a Boxster, but it would produce the same symptoms.

[@XLouisGamerX]

These coilpacks are notorious to go bad

[@ukcarflippers2220]

Tycon is now worth half its new value darr lol

[@16Cylinder]

All used cars loose value. Especially expensive cars, so whats your point? Just means there are really nice used cheap cars to buy. An old high milage EV is going to cost next to nothing to keep running vs an ICE car, so once people realize this, high milage EV´s is going to be very popular. I used to change my ICE cars every 2-3 years due to high milage (40.000 km) per year. I am now on my second EV (BMW i5) and will drive it to well beyond 300-400.000 km and save +60.000 euro in fuel costs and low service costs in that time 🙂
