New to me 2000 Base! could use some advice
 

How long does it take to get a post approved? I've been waiting a while just to get some advice on here and get my car running again. Will they tell you if your post "wasn't approved"?

I recently turned 21, graduated college, and got a big boy job. To celebrate I went out and drove six hours to buy the cheapest "running-and-driving" porsche I could get my hands on. :cool:

I present, my MY2000 automatic black base Boxster, with 150K miles, a savannah beige interior and a butt ton of a lot of problems.

Bought her in Tampa and made it four hours towards GA before she stalled on me, and continued to stall every five minutes. I ended up towing her home. But hey, the top and AC work!

Now the current stuff;
- Stalls when car is at temperature (>180) and comes to a stop or goes into reverse. It happens consistently. The weirdest part is the car starts right back up, almost every time. No need to let anything cool down I think.
- Idle ranges between 900-1100 rpm at idle.
- Backfires at high RPMs
- no codes on my cheap obdii scanner except a faulty post-cat 02 sensor on bank 1

I have replaced the AOS (drives smoother and no cloud at startup, but still stalls at temp), did a vacuum test with a smoke machine through the throttle body (no major leaks), and unplugged MAF (no change).

I am going to put a stock airbox back in, and replace the oil, oil filter, spark plugs, and plug tubes, and try for an ECU reset to learning mode if I can find the right procedure.

What else should I look at?

Anyways, howdy :cheers:

Sounds like you are running out of fuel. Have you checked the fuel system. If the vent apparatus is malfunctioning, it could cut your fuel flow.
Or the fuel pump is dying. Might check fuel pressure.
