Hi,i own a 2003 for almost 2 years now and put close to 14,000km's on it. 2.7 boxster 67,000km's on it now.Had sparkplug,oil change around 8K ago and only big repair was i needed new flywheel and clutch.Other then that the car has been running good.I added some gas cleaner to full tank and coulpe weeks ago thinking i'll just maybe give it a clean.This pass week i started to notice a cold rough start in the moring for about 4-6 secs.Its like it starving for gas a bit and doesnt give the Vvvrooom start seeing the rpm needle jump up and back down to idle.Its more like it just says at idle slurping for gas and sounding i guess like its misfiring rough engine like what other have said.Runs fine normal for the rest of the day. Does my MAF and throdle body need cleaning?Is it easy to clean the Maf.Do i need special tools?I would like to do small stuff before i call the big O porsche mech. Thanks

Is it true that we shouldn't let these cars warm up in idle? I read that you should only start it when you are ready to drive. I start it and back out immediately.... I did read that in the owner's manual. :dance:

I have the same periodic rough idle at startup. Doesn't seem to be a real problem though my mechanic did mention a few services ago that one of my plug coils may be cracked. After reading this thread I think I'll get those and my plugs replaced this week.
