UPDATE" Problem fixed, indeed it was the cigarette bud stuck in the TB what was causing the problem, after I cleaned every part I just put them back together and It worked perfectly. Thank you everyone for all your help and I hope this thread can be useful for someone who has similar issues.by MethosSVT - Main Forum
Hi again ! hey I just realized something, I think the piece might be good even though It looks cracked. I did a few test for leaks in the just that piece alone and nothing...and now I just remembered that when I took the TB out, I found a cigarette bud stuck in the butterfly, it was holding it open, I think that might have been the whole issue, I guess the bud was stuck in the old filter and it fby MethosSVT - Main Forum
Hi pedro ! I took the Tee and the TB out and yes it's clear to the eye and the touch that the crack goes through. It's in nearly 60% of the piece. I just cleaned the TB and I'm looking for the part number of that piece( hard to find haha) I might have to replace one of the sleeves as well because it broke when I took the T-tube out, thank you a lot for yout time and your help !

Hello pedro, I checked the best I could and I only found one weird spot, it is very suspicious though, it is the intermediate piece between the intake distributors, there seems to be a huge opening in the middle of it. I took some pictures, let me know what you think about it because I looked at other boxster engines and they don't seem to have that opening. Thanks again for all your help my frieby MethosSVT - Main Forum
UPDATE" I installed the new MAF today and even though it seemed more stable at the beginning, it has the exact same issues as before, same backfire, and it won't rev over 2k rmp I really had my hopes up with the new maf, I don't even know where to start know, I also put the old paper filter back and took the k&n out, can the intake backfire mess up the new maf ????by MethosSVT - Main Forum
Hello, I disconnected the MAF again but this time I reseted the ECU by disconnecting the battery, there is a huge difference in how the car runs, it still runs very rough and rmp's go up and down but now I was able to actually drive the car and rev it to 3.5k rmp without the car shutting off, there was a bit of backfire through the intake but only a couple of times whether with the MAF plugged itby MethosSVT - Main Forum
Thanks for the info Pedro ! I'll check those mods out, I plan to get an S model eventually(hopefully next year) so those mods would be perfect for it. By the way I forgot to mention something important, the car was overfilled with oil with a about a quarter(might be less but it's better to assume the worst, the electronic meter showed about 3 to 4 bars missing and I poured a little bit over a quaby MethosSVT - Main Forum
hello ! well I used the "check" feature on the dash and nothing came up, plus the CEL is not on but I haven't used an OBD tool yet, I'm waiting to see how much can I troubleshoot myself. When I disconnected the MAF it seemed a bit mor stable for about 3 seconds but after that it went to hell again(same thing happened when I plugged it back in) I've also felt like it is harder for the car to startby MethosSVT - Main Forum
Thanks for the quick reply Pedro ! it's greatly appreciated. I will try those steps tomorrow, I took the MAF and it is the 986.606.125.01 so I'm just going to go ahead and buy one with the same number. I just hope it's not a timing tensioner or bad timing issue, I'll keep you guys updated, thanks again for your time Pedro ! Ciaoby MethosSVT - Main Forum
Hello my friends, as I stated on the tile I am having major problems with my 02 boxster, it is a base model with 160k miles, de-snorkled, and K&N filter(installed 90 miles ago) Here is the whole story: A few weeks ago the after I installed the K&N the car started stalling and it would shut off by itself, I took the MAF out and cleaned it with MAF cleaner which worked great because the carby MethosSVT - Main Forum
