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.
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
New to me 2000 Base! could use some advice
