m2
Last summer my Boxster stalled at a traffic light after running for about 30 to 45 mins.. The engine would not restart until the engine had cooled for an extended period of time... in my case, after the flat bed arrived 2 hours later, lol. No error codes were ever recorded.
Members of the board indicated the Crankshaft sensor was bad and needed replacement.
Removal and replacement was not terribly difficult but access was a challenge. I found a small ratchet on a 5 mm hex bolt allowed me to get inside a metal wire routing holder and gave me the space to remove the sensor with the hex and ratchet.
I've test driven the car and run it for more than an hour and thirty minutes, no problems.
I'm surprised that no error message was ever sent for the severity of failure (engine cutting out).
I must admit... trusting that this resolved the problem is hard to feel confident in.
