Good to hear you are up and running

I would be curious as to how that rain may have affected the throttle body as well...We had a torrential rain out this way a week or 2 ago, tho my top was up....Was more concerned about the chunks of hail damaging the exterior of the car! No damage to the car, just a cut on my forehead as I got caught out in it while fishing....

the only thing I can think of is water getting onto the rear shelf or dash and somehow....I dunno

lesson to all: A little water in the cockpit can be just enough to cause a big repair.

Hi,

It could just be coincidence, the Throttle Jacking Solenoid may simply have pooped out the same day it rained. If the ignition was OFF, it's not likely there was anything to short, I haven't checked, but it seems unlikely that an Engine Control would be on a B+ circuit. Glad you're AOK though...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

MN,
the b+ reference and short circuit was not for my model year. I mistakenly searched the 2.5 Boxsters not my 3.2 for the error code definition.

I'm still trying to figure out exactly what my error code means for the somewhat common throttle body failure in these cars.
