Has your 60K service been done yet? If not, clean the MAF while you're at it.

Yep. Did the 60k service already, including plugs, motor mount, and water pump too. Will prob just buy a new MAF since I hear cleaning is only temporary. Thx.

CEL code P1128
My CEL light has been coming on for over a year now. The OBD II shows P1128. I've gone over 2000 miles without it coming back on (a trip from OR to CA and back). I just cleaned the MAF and it came back on after less than 100 miles. The car seems to run fine and I just clear the code. I guess I'll try replacing the MAF with a new one, if I don't find any other solutions. I have a little over 30,000 miles on the car. No other problems. Only mod is snorkle removal.

The two Porsche dealers in the state are at least 100 miles from me and I have yet to find a local mechanic I trust. Other reliable non-dealer Porsche shops are just as far.

Looking forward to any solutions found to this problem.
