i thought the O2 sensors were going out on the boxster and was really not looking forward to that joy... 4 heat and corrosion 'welded' in live data seems to show its the MAF. i'm more pleased on that funnily enough !
That's one of the many things i miss about my time in the US (SoCal) cars dont corrode up to the eyeballs and you guys have garages that can actually fit a car in !

The one O2 Sensor I took out came out without any problems. I did check my MAF sensor with the Durametric, it's functioning fine.
Here is where what I think caused my cat problems. My AOS was going out, not doing the heavy smoke deal or anything like that, but when I put in the new intake system there was oil in the Distribution T and the line from the AOS. Why this AOS didn't just give up and blow like most I don't know, but it went on long enough that my car threw a CEL for the cats. So I'm pretty sure they are mucked up and bad.
The P0446 happen because I tried a home made repair to the gas cap seal. Not sure what I did wrong because when I would go to put fuel in the car, it would take several cranks to get the engine started again. Replaced the "repaired" gas cap with a new one, code is gone and the car starts right up now after being fueled.
