Unhappy I need help!

I need some insight. My 99 Boxster started showing a check engine light but was running fine. I finally got around to taking it to the dealer and they told me the DME was measuring ambient pressure wrong, 700 instead of 1000. This caused the MAF to burn out. They wanted to replace the DME and MAF for $2600. I dont have the cash to lay out so I wanted to get some opinions before just throwing $$$ at the problem. The dealer told me the sensor to measure the ambient pressure was in the DME, this just didnt seam right. Is there a sensor I can look for or is the DME the only area where the problem can be?

If I disconnect the battery, the car will drive for about an hour then show the check engine light again.

Any ideas guys?
