I got a 01 boxster in October, 60k miles but no matter what I do, i can't seem to get rid of this CEL for 1128 and 1130. It has been idling pretty low

What I've tried:
I replaced the AOS,
I've cleaned the MAF.
Got a smoke test (not sure how well he did),
Sprayed carb cleaner on my hoses hoping for an rpm change.


When I reset the code, I seem to gain some power, but the code comes back when I'm at low rpm. (Drops to about 500)


My next step is to buy a new MAF and clean the throttle body.

Am on the right track? I admit it's getting a bit discouraging.
I'm tempted to call a Porsche dealer to see what they charge for diagnostic, but I am afraid it will be a chokingly high price

Thanks in advanced

Buy a new Bosch or Porsche MAF. Install it & if the car runs better leave it in. If it runs the same take it out & reinstall the old one. Save the new MAF you will need it sometime.
