Question on Boxster Fuel Pump

2000 boxster...while driving the car starting losing power. When I stepped on the gas it bogged...and rpms and power kept dropping. Eventually the car died. Then I was able to start it..but it ran rough and quit. Now the engine cranks but won't start. I tried the unplug the mass air sensor trick...but it still just cranks but won't start. I jumped the fuel pump relay and turned the key...heard nothing. Should I hear the fuel pump with the front hood up and the battery still installed?

If you have the fuel pump activated, you should hear it running. Try removing the fuel filler cap and listening via the filler neck.

Hi,

On a Boxster 987, is there an 'easy' way to access the relays? They are mounted connections down / relays up above the fuse box in the footwell and access appears to be appalling - is there a trick to unclipping the relay board to get better access?

Thanks!

There are retaining lugs at the sides of the relay panel. Once you detach these lugs, the panel can be pulled down for better access.
