Re: correct MAF sensor part# for 2000 Boxster 2.7 77k miles
I had a new MAF put into my 2000 Boxster S and they had to update the software with it. It was what they did back then.... IIRC, they didn;t "select" the correct MAF, they just used up the old inventory, and then moved to the new MAF with software.
I am a bit surprised they even make the older part.
However, you dipping and bobbing RPMs may be as simple as cleaning your throttle body. Very easy to do.... take of the hoses and just spray cleaner in and around the butterfly.... jam a small rag in there with a screwdriver and you will pull out jet black oil stuff. I put 197K miles on my 2000 S and cleaning the throttle body to stop the bobbing was a common routine for me.... I can't remember how often or whatever, but I just began to do it as a standard maintenance procedure after the dealer did the clean (and charged me!).
Peace
