Hello all. I'm new to the forum.

I just had my "check engine" light come on and it is flashing!

Heres what happened. I drove it for about 2 mins then the engine started to "sputter" and there was a severe loss of power. I then parked the car and tried to restart it, but the engine would just sputter and refused to start.

The Porsche dealer obviously told me not to drive it to prevent further damage. Another Porsche dealer said it could be the MAF sensor.

My question is; can an MAF problem lead to a "flashing" check engine light??????
I seem to be getting mixed answers to this quesiton.

Thanks all.......
