  1. In 2005 the SCCA has put all Boxster's and the S2000 in AS with the Boxster S, Corvette, and Subaru STI. It seems totally unfair to put a car with 201 HP up against a car with 280 HP but they make the rules. If you lower the car it is now longer in a Stock class. Mitch
  2. I sent you a PM but never got an email. Let me know if I need to send you another PM. Mitch
  3. The car runs fine but the check engine is on. I had Autozone read the code and it was P0102. I subscribe to DIY Alldata and it indicates that the signal from the MAF(Mass Air Flow sensor is below the lower limit. It indicates that the signal wire from the MAF is broken or is shorted to ground. I disconnected the MAF and put an ohm meter on pin 5 of the connector. It read 10,000 ohms. That says to me that the wire is not open or shorted to ground so something else is wrong. According to Alldata pin 4 of the MAF is the 5 volt supply line and pin 5 is the signal line. The ohm meter shows a resistance of 45,000 ohms from pin 4 to pin 5 of the MAF. Can anyone tell me if this is a good value. My theory is that 45,000 ohms is way to high and the MAF is bad. Just for reference the ohm reading on the connector are pin 1 - 1,000 ohms , 2 - 100 ohms, 3 - 0 ohms, 4 - 1,500 ohms, 5 - 10,000 ohms. The ohms reading on the MAF are pin 5 to 1 - 19,000, 5 to 2 - 60,000, 5 to 3 - 15,000, 5 to 4 - 45,000. Before I replace the MAF I would like to get your suggestions.
  4. Thanks for the info Uwe. I decide to subscribe to Alldata.com so that I could see some pictures of here you think is leaking. Looks like it is probably the o-ring. if you mean by o-ring that the gasket is round and not flat. At this point it is a seeping leak. Do you think it will get worse gradually or should I go ahead and replace it before it makes a mess. Thanks Again, Mitch
  5. You got me!! :unsure: Yes it is the dreaded FMS. :) Here is a better picture with the oil cleaned away. I drove the car for about 15 minutes after I cleaned the oil up and no new oil appeared. I guess I will run it for a few weeks and take another look.
  6. My 1999 Boxster with 60,000 miles has a film of oil on the bottom of the unit where the water hoses attach to the engine and a drop of oil on the bolt that I think is the water drain plug. I took the engine cover behind the seats off and could see oil residue a few inches below the pulley attached to the crankshaft. I could not see well enough to tell if it was coming from behind the pulley. What do you think is causing a leak in this area. You can see the oil buildup in the center of the picture. It appears to be a very slow leak.
