That looks awesome but given the great job this car is doing sucking my wallet dry probably out of my price range.

I just got it back yesterday and of course the codes were cleared. Drove it 150 miles yesterday and the light is not on yet. To make matters worse I still can't find my code reader after the move :( I was thinking about upgrading to a pc based software package for OBD reading. Any suggestions?

I've been using this board for a while searching for things but this is my first post. Glad to be here. I've got a 2000 Boxster with 35k miles. It's been quite a rocky ride so far. I had the IMS bearing failure at 22k mile a few years ago (car doesn't get a lot of driving). Engine was replaced with a salvage yard one (2001) with about 10k more miles than mine and all was fine until last fall. I did the flat6inovations bearing replacement on the new engine and hoped I was good to go. Last fall the car started to idle rough and would eventually set the CEL with mixture out of range errors. I took it to my local independent (who did the engine swap) and he couldn't find anything wrong. Cleaned the MAF and told me if it didn't clear up to go ahead and replace the MAF. It would take days for the CEL to come back on but it always did. Replaced MAF, no improvement. Started doing research here and proceeded to replace spark plugs and AOS. Problem still persisted. Went back to the shop and they put it on a smoke machine and found a small vacuum leak from a hose that was chewed by a rodent. Things got a little better but still would set CEL and not idle smooth. Back again on the smoke, no more leaks found. At this point I think he was out of ideas and started shotgunning at my expense. Replaced both upstream O2 sensors, no improvement. Replaced MAF again. The car runs great off idle, it just idles rough and will eventually set the light. I recently moved a few hours away from the old shop so I'm a bit on my own. What next?
