Fellow 986Forum Members,

Here is the rest of the story on my formally rough running 1999 Boxster....

1. My mechanic discovered that my 100 mph tape temporary repair of my brake booster line (as it attached to the engine) was holding up well, but the hose had a crack in it. Apparently that was causing the engine to cut off and run roughly.

2. So, he replaced the line and repaired the connection to the engine.

3. Parts came to $106.90. Labor was $400.00.

4. That took care of all the codes except the code on the evaporative emissions system canister (it has a bad purge/shut off valves). I decided not to waste any time or money on saving the environment (my Texas county does not do the communist smog test, only a safety inspection).
