1998 boxster....everytime it sit for hours and cools down, it run sluggish for about 2 miles. After that, it runs great. Just started doing that 2 weeks ago. I'm in Florida and the weather is warm. It is close to a tune up time. Any thoughts......thanks

how many miles are on the car?

do you have previous service records (if purchased used)?

how long have you owned the car?

is the car modified in any way?

for 98's the oil/oil filter/engine air filter change interval is 15K miles, spark plugs at 30K miles. many people change their oil and plugs much more frequently that that, and it certainly wouldn't hurt you car to do it early.

it could be a failing MAF (Mass Air Flow meter). but it could be many things...

is your Check Engine Light (CEL) on?

could you describe 'sluggish' in more detail? does the car seem like it's hesitating when you hit the gas, does it make any noise when this is happening, does the car shake, etc.?
