    Boost leak would be less boost, not more. You need to look at the vacuum lines to the wastegate actuators if they are leaking or disconnected the actuator sees no boost and holds the wastegate closed. Also possible the previous owner put in a boost controller or an ECU flash.

    • @Rushinglc
      @Rushinglc Год назад +2

      If the wastegates are closed the car will make more boost. Its common to drill small holes in the wastegate signal lines to in fact create a "boost leak" keeping the gates shut and making more overall boost pressure in the intake.
      I do understand where you are coming from though, he is checking for a boost leak in the intake. Which I'm not sure if this can be accurately checked by pressurizing the long block?

    @jonathanfenne4948 Год назад +41

    You can buy smoke tablets cheap. Pop them in the boost pipe and then cap off and apply pressure. I'm wondering if the pressure is going past the rings. Left bank smokes, possibly liner damage. I'd get a bore scope and take a look either way.

  • @CagedNaan
    @CagedNaan Год назад +24

    Love the videos! Your major boost leak will be your intercoolers, remove the rear bumper to access them, mine was the same couldn’t get any pressure in the system at first. Mine had rotted and split in various places, good luck 👍🏼

  • @BowTied69
    @BowTied69 Год назад +28

    If the fuel pressure is bleeding off when the engine is off, this could be the reason for the extra cranks/slow start. Try cycling the key twice before start to give it extra prime time. I don't own a Porsche but had it work on a different vehicle. Need to find leak - bleeding back to tank or into engine? Oil smell like fuel? .... Leakdown test: nice Schrader valve fab. I am not a turbo guy so this is just a thought - is the air going in to the intake and leaking through an open exhaust valve? You might need to isolate at the throttle / IAC valve and see if it is piping between. Maybe that is a dumb idea, just spit-ballin'. Good luck.

    • @Rushinglc
      @Rushinglc Год назад +1

      Yep, that's what it sounds like when starting. The fuel pressure has leaked off, most likely the injectors need serviced or replaced. Fuel with ethanol can take its toll on injectors if the vehicle has sat for any extended period of time.

    • @sethfrancissimracing7558
      @sethfrancissimracing7558 Год назад +1

      Good comment, I have the same issue on my 2001 SAAB 9-3, it has a bad one way valve at the sending unit that allows fuel to bleed back into the tank when the car sits. If it is parked for more than a couple hours I need to cycle the key to prime it one extra time before starting. Otherwise it will start rough and act like it's running out of gas before smoothing out. Unfortunately they don't make that part anymore so I haven't replaced it.
      I was also thinking that maybe his boost leak failed because the pressure was going past the throttle body? If the intake/exhaust valves are in a position where they are open wouldn't the pressure leak past? Maybe I am mistaken on the theory with that though.

  • @veeco3110
    @veeco3110 Год назад +14

    you should have boost leak checked with the y pipe up at the throttle body. also remove the rear bumper and check to see if the end caps of the intercoolers are leaking. if they're stock coolers with plastic end caps, they are prone to leak. the check valves on the upper portion of these motors suck but once you get these boost leaks taken care of the cars going to be a rocket ship again

    • @veeco3110
      @veeco3110 Год назад +3

      don't bother with a smoke test because thats not going to do anything with this check valves in the car. here's the link to markskis pressure test how to. I have the kit he makes if you want to borrow it I can send it out to you ( im in NJ)

  • @ebagmaiyup7436
    @ebagmaiyup7436 Год назад +5

    Block off the throttle plate, the air pressure would just bleed past it.
    And the vacuum line you left off was the purge valve solenoid, hence the code.

  • @TheBeardedEngineer
    @TheBeardedEngineer Год назад +14

    Also, with some of the comment below regarding the boost leak.
    You need to remove the charge pipe from the intake and plug it. With it connected to the throttle
    Body you are injecting air into the engine which if any of the pistons are in the overlap on the cam then your air is just exiting straight out your exhaust. Which could be a reason why your not seeing any pressure build up
    First check one charge pipe at a time by plugging it. Then use the smoke test when the engine is running to see where the smoke gets pushed away from the charge pipe or intake by leaking air.
    Finally, if that doesn’t work. Use carburetor cleaner to slowly spray around the entire intake system. Carburetor cleaner burns, but not at the same AF as gasoline so the engine will slightly stumble after it ingests it. Go slow because you’ll need to allow for the delay between the spray and the effect. (Yes, even a boosted charge pipe can suck in air because of the pressure difference between the charged air and the charged carb cleaner can)

    On your passenger window and seat - check your vapor barrier inside the door which normally allows the rain to enter the outside of the window and into the door, but stay on the outside of the plastic barrier inside, away from door electronics, and the rain just drains out the bottom of the door.
    When the vapor barrier is bad the rain will get through and into the door electronics (including your window switch). It also will soak into the floor and into your seat control box under your seat and can short it out.
    I had both those issues on my 997 and replaced the barrier, the switch, and the seat controller (which mine wasn't saving the memory settings but would still operate the seat at least) and everything has been perfect for a year.
    Those vapor barriers can dry rot if the car is outside for its life.

  • @billymania11
    @billymania11 Год назад +3

    I admire your resolve to sort one of the more complex automobiles. I would start by doing a bore-scope and a cylinder compression check. It's very likely a secondary owner put a "tune" on the engine and hot-rodded the shit out of it. As such, you want to know quickly what the general health of the engine is. The compression check will give a clue on rings and valve leakage. After that, look at the turbo and injectors. If you have blue smoke on acceleration, you'll have rebuild something internal, but hey that's the fun of trying to bring this beast back to full health.

    So happy to see a 996 turbo brought back to life! I recently completed my own 996 project Carrera (also yellow with terrible rims!) and I have a stock 996 turbo. The Mezger in is an incredible engine in theory relative to the base model 3.6L flat six but obviously this one has seen a lot of mistreatment in it's day.
    Batteries will be a constant issue - change and then keep on trickle charger.
    The Fabspeed mods can be very good especially exhaust system but the intake is one of the more questionable performance upgrades from third party vs OEM especially in warmer climates/summertime given the already somewhat restricted airflow to the rear mounted engine and the specific design Porsche implemented to resolve that. An IPD plenum can provide an improved performance on the intake in my experience but other than adding a high performance filter any other extra intake system cost or mod likely isn't worth it.
    My experience is MAF is a common issue with my 996's, you definitely feel it on start up and driving power loss/inconsistency since the fuel mix can run too rich or lean because of it. It can lead to misfires and inconsistent startups (along with battery), then the plugs themselves can be a common issue causing misfire and poor startup/power inconsistency worth checking.
    I have not had any issues with turbo but I know the intercooler lines can be a a common issue (resolved by previous owner for me no issues since)
    Great videos good luck!

    Put a smaller diameter pipe between two PVC caps like you already and plumbers glue them together. Have a open hole at one end and your tyre valve at the other. When you get 20 psi that cap you have is going to blowout and hit you in the face.
    The hose clamp can bite on the smaller diameter pipe between the caps and won’t blow off.
    Spray soapy water around the area you think has a leak and look for the bubbles, I still think it’s your fuel pressure regulator, deep down on the passenger side in the engine bay.

Now if you're skilled and have the time and money to rebuild like this guy, you can do it. Hell make videos of all the work bc these are awesome!
      But 997 is the superior car. Porsche fixed several things from the 996 gen.
      All that being said, 996 is still a Porsche and still a great piece of driving machinery regardless!

    @rbazola Год назад +1

    Over boost was N75 valve. Boost leak, listen to the air intake with filter housing removed. BOVs dump back to the intake. Leaky BOVs will cause that size leak which you should hear. Also, unless your car is tuned, 1.1 bar is high for boost pressure. Wastegate may be altered or sticking. Fuel pressure should be checked with pump on. If normal, you might have leaky injectors causing bleed down. Is it running rich? Try Techron fuel additive for a couple of tanks and see what happens.

    You have a vacuum leak somewhere (which is why you hear a hissing) however, this would not cause you to make more boost...you would make less.
    Also, if the previous owner installed a tune, 1.1 bar of boost is pretty normal.

      @@matt13ross I'm not there with you to see your procedure. I can only see what I see in the video. With that said, it takes a little time to actually fill up the charging system with compressed air, probably more than you think it should.
      If you're able to make 1.1 bar now, your boost leak isn't that big. It's probably a broken vacuum line or check-valve.
      Next time you do a test, keep introducing air until you make roughly 20psi. Have a spray bottle ready, filled with soapy water and start spraying where you think you hear the hissing. If you hit the leak in question, you will start generating tiny bubbles. Keep introducing compressed air(making sure not to exceed 20psi) and keep spraying. You'll eventually find it

    I had a similar problem on a mercedes sprinter where I would get an over boost message when the van was under load. I spent a full day looking for leaks with no results. It turned out to be the ambient air temp sensor. I guess without that the ecu could not determine the air density and was over boosting. Just a thought.

    Instead of the tire valve on the pressure cap put on air fitting and connects the air to it. Set the regulator to 15 psi and shut the compressor off so it won't turn on while you are looking for the leak. That's how a boost leak on my old Audi.

    I find hard to believe that it's a car that hasn't been tuned. Just look at the filter, nobody does that without cranking up the pressure a bit. FYI my tuned 2004 996 Turbo, single owner (myself) has about 1 to 1.1 bar of pressure that it seems to me is what you have now after fiddling with the hose. (pressure depends on weather and driving style). You may have the same mapping and that would be a good thing.

    Yellow calipers on a Porsche means it came with PCCBs (ceramic brakes). They last over 100K miles and Jane no brake dust.

    Others have commented, but a boost leak will not cause over boost. That's a wastegate problem (sticky actuator?) Unless it has the k24 upgrade and x50 flash?
    It would not read 1.2bar if it was venting pressure, it would read lower that. Interesting though that the K24 X50 upgrade is 1.2bar.

    • @matt13ross
      @matt13ross  Год назад

      Right, but before me fixing the crank seal it was .6 at max (stock). Now it’s over boosting, which can still happen with boost leaks, just makes the turbos over work.

      @@matt13ross boost pressure on the dash is read from the intake manifold on most cars.
      If you are losing charge air before the intake manifold through a leak, it will not read higher. If you have a leak and it's reading 1.2 at the intake sensor, then the turbos are pushing a lot more than 1.2
      Before you changed the crank seal, and cleared the engine codes, you also changed a maf sensor? Did it only boost .6 after changing the maf sensor, before the crank seal?
      Considering you think the cats and exhaust are aftermarket, it could have the K24 upgrade turbos, which would boost 1.2. and the ECU would have limited boost because of the MAF sensor.
