ODBII Scan and clear codes

[vilemd]

hey , i just got a boxster today, i hooked it up to a cheap code reader, and when i pressed the reset button, the car died. since then i have not been able to keep the car idling

i start the car, it runs for 2-3 seconds and then dies, if i pretty much floor it will barley stay running and just idle real rough

I'm not sure what you did, if it was the immobilizer, the car wouldn't start at all. But you might want to try disconnecting the battery for an hour or so and see if that resets whatever it was that got set.
