Check Engine Light

I've made no changes or modifications to the car. It is completely stock, no intake or exhaust upgrades.

When I bought the car from a local 'high end' car dealer a year ago, I got a CEL. As it was under 30 days of purchase the dealer 'fixed it'. A couple weeks later I got another CEL which the dealer would not cover as it was just after 30 days. A local mechanic discovered a cracked emmissions canister. This was 9 months ago, and the car has been good since then.

From reading this forum, I'm wondering if it just might be time (70k miles) for o2 sensors or mass air flow sensor.

On the other hand, it might be fine for a while. I was just wondering if I could be doing any damage to the car by continuing to drive it.

I heard from another guy at the DE day that his Boxster throws CEL 'all the time'.

BTW - I love this car...and had a great time at the event. It rained all morning so we got lots of 'sideways' time. Great to finally get to drive the car 'vigourously' in a proper environment.
