Well, after spending the first $775 to "fix" the issue with my CEL with my Porsche specialist a week ago, the light came back on yesterday. I only drove the car about 30 miles since the so-called "fix" was performed. They told me they checked the system. They said the air pump works perfectly and all hoses are connected. They replaced one of the 3 valves in the system (said it was rusted) and cleaned out (sprayed) the manifold. Obviously what they did didn't fully resolve my CEL issue.

It goes back on Monday. I'm sure they will suggest replacing the other two valves in the system and I might suggest they either clean the MAP or replace it, since I've read that can be an issue too.

Other than that, my 98' with 75,000 miles runs great....in fact except for the CEL I would have no idea I have an issue........just don't want to waste any more $$ or time.
