I have a 2000 Boxster. It currently runs and drives, but will only crawl around, 5 mph max. Won't rev over 1500 rpm or so.

6 months ago, the alarm under the seat got flooded. I have had battery drain issues ever since, so could be related. I disconnect the battery sometimes, I found disconnecting it every month or so would prevent battery drain issues. I cleaned the alarm module with alcohol after it got flooded, seemed fine, but something is off still.

No power issue might not be related to the alarm issue.

I am thinking maybe throttle body? I did a quick search for this issue, but I didn't find anything similar.

Any input is appreciated. Thanks.
