Need help with engine error codes on 99 boxster

I have the following engine error P-codes:

P0102 (Mass air flow sensor, short to ground/below lower limit/ lean mixture threshold)

P1124 (fuel pump relay output stage, short to ground/below lower limit/lean mixture)

P1126 (oxygen sensing adaptation, lower load range, cyl. 1-3, short to B+/above upper limit/ rich mixture threshold.)

I would be immensely grateful to anyone who has ideas on where to start. Thank you soooo much!

Colby

Only input I can offer is I have heard the fuel pump relays can go bad & a new one is $15 or less. It is easy to replace under the dash drivers side. Pull off the fuse panel cover & you should have a diagram there. I had to get a Bently manual since my diagram was missing. That may be the only problem.

Lean codes can be caused by vacuum leaks , secondary air injection faults and exhaust manifold leaks.

Lean limit suggests that you have some oxygen (air) getting into the system and the pre-cat O2 is trying to compensate and it is running into the limit because the O2 is coming from the atmosphere and not from the combustion process.

That is where I would start.

It would appear that HUALE768 is an even smarter spam bot that is now combining posts in a thread to be harder to spot. Amazing what hackers can come up with.

Thank you for your replies! I'm going to try and clean out the MAF sensor this week and cheek the fuel relays as you suggested.
