I have a 1999 boxster 2.5 with 98000 miles. I recently have been getting p1124 and p1126 after reset usually takes awhile before it comes back. Also have rough idle. I cleaned the MAF sensor and checked for any air intake leaks. Any suggestions on a fix or toubleshooting the MAF and O2 sensors. The sensors are pricey and would like to confirm the bad part before purchase and installation.

Dude,

My car was throwing those codes for months, I tried everything: Clean the MAF, replace the MAF, tighten up air cleaner all the logical things.

The problem 9 time out of 10 is a major air leak to the crankcase somewhere. I fixed mine by taking it to the dealer and the source was torn bellows hose to the oil separator. There are several of these on the H20 996's and Box'trs. I would start by inspecting yours.

Parktown in St Louis

Rubber bellows tube.

996 107 237 52 Bellows tube

$419.59 replaced at dealer.

You might be able to do it your self provided thats the cause, these are very hard to access with out a lift because of the wierd angles.

Here are some links to get you going....

+1 for Oil sep/bellows. Changed mine a year ago and everything cleared. You need a good pair of angled nose hose clamp pliers and quite a bit of patience. There are some good posts in this forum for the procedure.
