What should I do next? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Well I guess I was being too gentle with the plug in. Forced it in and viola. Codes were there to be read.
So the codes I got are.

P 1130
P 1128
P 0446
The first two are Porsche specific. The third has something to do with emmissions I think.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

Here you go...

P1130 - Oxygen sensing adaptation, idle range, Cyl. 4-6

P1128 - Oxygen sensing adaptation, idle range, Cyl. 1-3

P0446 - EVAP Cannister Shut-off Valve (function) - Sort to ground, blow lower limit, lean mixture threshold

I believe these still point to the MAF sensor. Could also be O² Sensors given the mileage. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Since I got the $99.00 code reader to work, I figured that I'll clear the codes and see what could come up again.

I revved and idled in the garage this afternoon and the codes did not come back.

Could you post the Canadian Tire part number for that code reader?

And if you have time, could you either describe it or better yet, post a picture of it?

I'm in Asia right now but I'll get the P/N and post a pic once i get back to Canada

Someone suggested betting on cause of my problem.

After having cleared codes vehicle ran okay in the garage. Now the sad part.

I was on my way to work today and got the dreaed flashing SES light. Car sputtered and popped alot until it warmed up. After some temp gain the car ran rough but better.

Going to the garage on Wednesday.

Who is guessing what?

I had a similar problem about six months ago. When CEL came on I bought an OBDII reader and got the same codes. I first tried clearing the codes several times but every couple of hundred miles they came back. I replaced the MAF sensor and its been clear sailing ever sense. Hope your problem is as simple.
