Another update on the 2002 Boxster. Was driving it last Friday when it seemed to almost run out of fuel under acceleration. It recovered, but then the engine began loping, even at idle. Check engine light came on.

Scheduled it with NW Imports in Austin for yesterday, took it in and waited while they diagnosed it. Took a bit, but turned out to be the AOS (air oil separator.) Picked it up this morning, tab was right at $869. (Previous owner had replaced the AOS in 2010, at 101K miles. This one failed right at 114K.) Hope I get more miles out of the new one than that!
