I spent most of the day today cleaning the MAF and fixing a broken lift arm for the convertible. Has anyone else run into problems with the arms breaking? One of mine snapped and on further investigation, I found the other one to be cracked(I wonder what this will set me back?) So I was able to get the MAF cleaned and the CE light to clear(yeah!). The celebration was short lived, within 10 min. the CF light
returned and no noticeable HP improvements with the MAF cleaning.

I 'll do a little more trouble shooting on the forum to see what else might be causing the P1117 code.

Thanks for the HP feed back. I've never driven a Boxster before so I have nothing to compare it to other than other Cars of similar Horses and weight . Don't get me wrong, I do love the pull from 2nd to 3rd and the roar of the exhaust. I do wish there was more punch.

Thanks again
