Hello,

I have been reading post here for several days to try to gleen some info on the problem I am having. I have had no luck so it is time to ask for some help.

I have a 98 boxster with manual trans and no mods. A few weeks back I had a problem with check engine light coming on. I had it checked and got a P0102(if I remember right) I ordered a new MAF and installed it. I thought that would be it. NO Way... I was driving everything feeling good so I decided to have some fun. Bad choice...at 5krpm the engine falls flat on its face and dies. I, somewhat embarrassed, make my way to the side of the road with my fine piece of German engineering. I was able to get it started but run very bad and when trying to accelerate to let the clutch out it died....several times. I was not too far from Autozone and had them to check the codes and they got P1124, P1126, P1128, and P1130. The car ran real bad until the CEL came on then it seemed to get better. I have looked for the vacuum leaks and did tighten up some clamps.

I took it out again after changing the battery and everything again seemed ok unit the magic 5k rpm mark was crossed. It stalled again except this time I could not get it restarted. There was no check engine light on at the time. Being not too far from the house I set leather to the road to retrieve a wrench to disconnect the battery. After disconnecting the battery it took a couple of starts to get it going but finally started and went on to the house..under 5k rpm... :)

Please help I am missing my fun time..

This sounds like an issue I had on a Mazda. Based on that experience, I'd say you're running a bit rich and basically choking the engine out. I don't know what your fix would be, but take it immediately to a good P-car mechanic and have them look it over. It could be something very simple.
