Ed B
Boxster track car. 2002 with a :'99 3.4 996 engine. Engine randomly shuts down to idle while on the track. No response from the throttle. After shut off and restart, it's OK. No codes.
Any ideas?

Ed & Marc,
The boxster in question is mine and has been working as it should with the current engine & ECU for 2 years. A very experienced wrench suggested it could be the throttle body as he has seen a number of these e-gas throttle bodies fail on a number of different marques. I don't know if this is a classic "limp mode" or not but it feels like an old style cable has broken and the engine just goes to idle until I shut it off and re start which obviously re boots the ECU.
Also, if I replace the throttle body will I have to do an e-gas configuration and what is that procedure?
Thanks, Dennis
