Thanks Viper5. I unplugged the MAF, but it didn't fix it. It set the P0102 code though, so at least I know my CEL bulb is not burnt out :)

Rough warm idle

Howdy,

I have a problem with my car that has me stumped. It's a 2001 986S, 105K on chassis, 35K on engine.

At warm idle, the car feels very rough. I can feel the engine shaking through the...

Groaning sound from steering

Wondering if y'all can help me diagnose this.

2001 S, 105 Kmi. From time to time, when I turn the steering wheel, there is a groaning sound coming from the front of the car. It's most audible...

Several reasons: Stripped lug bolts/lug nuts, damaged wheels, and warped brake rotors.

Dont overtighten. Use a good torque wrench in a diagonal pattern.

I find it hard to believe that your car makes 270 hp at the wheels at 7.5psi. 7.5psi is a 51% increase in pressure over atmospheric; 270hp is approx. a 50% increase in rwhp (180 vs. 270). Hence...

In the picture, the IC seems awfully close to the exhaust pipes though.

The usefulness of the Boxster's six gears and 5th gear in particular really depends on how/where you drive the car. I agree that in the US, where you really ought not to exceed 90mph or so on a...

No CEL: well, maybe the shop erased the codes and cleared the CEL for some reason. If so, it'll show up again after a couple of drive cycles.

It depends. If you accelerate and you are going to upshift, then you want to wind it out past the HP peak, because once you upshift you will land 800-1000 rpm lower than you were before. You'll want...
