Today my 986 died on the Bay Bridge - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Well I brought the 986 into Bauer's in Oakland, and we looked it over for a couple hours. They ran the voltage, and it seems unlikely to be the alternator. The fuel readouts are all good, so unlikely to be the fuel pump. There's no single cylinder not getting spark. Conclusion? Best case, MAF. Worst case? They're thinking the flywheel possibly is misaligned. Said they've seen it before.

Tomorrow we find out if it's the MAF; they have an extra one for testing purposes.

You're right; they are good. MAF swapped in, and they double checked everything, and my ride is ready for pickup this afternoon. One hour of labor, and were extremely honest and straightforward. I'll be using them moving forward for anything of the complex variety (though this wasn't hard, it's nice to know that everything's all good).
