the funny thing is that I have done pre purchase inspection. First I have done it myself. Secondly, I took it to a specialist workshop, visual inspection, that computer inspection, there was no signs that something would go wrong. It is in ideal condition. It has only 70 000 km done. visually and technically seemed OK. There was a 2001 Boxster for the same price (I paid 10 500 USD). But the 2001 one was not recomended by the wokrshop due to its technical condition. So I took this one 1998. After workshop inspection and my inspection, I had an agreement with the guy that if there will be any serious problem with the car within 500 km, I had a right to claim it. I drove this 500 km from the city I bought to my city. No problems at all. This is my second family car (for every day drive and house things I use my audi), Porsche is more weekend car.... and I am not a tough driver, I enjoy crusing at a normal speed, and if i give some speed only on a high way. So, i believe I am not the reason that suddenly car started to get all the problems in one go after 2000 km.

The problems started now, and I would expect there is more to come.

Regarding the gas: I am using 98 octane (which in my country is called super). I have delivered car to turkey to check all the sensors and the specialists told me they are all fine (MAF and O2). It does not dies simply while idling. It idles normally, from time to time the RPM is as you said searching for the right level. It dies, for example, if I drive normally, then slow down completely, and kind of a moving to slow to enter my yard or garage.

It is very difficult to take care of the car, when there is noone who can help or assist, it is only you guys on the net. I have the only boxster in the city, and there is totally may be 3 - 4 in the country. In the whole country there is in total only 3 guys who knows the Porsche and how to fix it, luckely, one is in my city.

But thank you guys for your support. Hope that soon will bring my car to the proper level....
