When you brought the car for service, were you still having throttle problems? (Re-read you post and see that you still got limp mode.) Did your Boxster throw another CEL for short in the fuel pump? If no to both, I am inclined to think that perhaps you brought the car to be service a little early. A good drying out may cure the short. Just don't drive while it dries out.

It would also leave me uncomfortable if the tech came back with as quick diagnosis as he did. However, I'm no mechanic; I just play one on TV.

PS - I just checked over at Renntech. For fuel pump relay output stage, short to B+, the listed P-code is P1124, fault code 167, fault type 4. For P1502, Throttle jacking unit, spring test.
