Solid or flashing CEL?

How old is car? How many miles? When is the last time you did regular maintenance (how old are your spark plugs)?

If it was a solid CEL, I might just reset it and drive on. See if it comes back. It might be time to change your plugs and coils if they have 30K miles on them. The Boxster is the 1st car that I've owned that the spark plugs seem to actually matter. Suspect O2 sensor and MAF with every code.

But I don't know anything. Smarter folks here than me.
