Yes, it's the right part number, Bosch part number: 0280218009 I ordered it from Bosch and it has the same exact number from Bosch and Porsche on the actual MAF as the factory one I took out.. No mods to intake except K&N drop in filter It does have a crate replacement engine from Porsche in it, but the MAF I pulled out has the same part number as the one I put in. So I don't think that's an issue. -
Update: the car now has about 40 miles on it since new MAF, and is fine for around town driving, but still has serious flat spots at 3k - 4k and 5.5k - 7k. Also, it threw a CEL but I won't have time to check it this week.

I'll try to get those numbers sometime soon. I'll also put a few more drives on it and see what happens. Does anyone else think its weird that a MAF would just fail like that, during driving?

Oh and the bogging is only at WOT

When I first got the issue I pulled up the misfire counter and it showed zero, even when running like it has been. And I haven't changed the fuel filter since I've had the car (10k miles) or the spark plugs, but the engine only has 35k on it. And Loren I didn't clean the throttle body or butterfly, mostly because when I took off the intake it looked shiny and new, so I didn't think cleaning it would really have an effect. Do you think I still should? I just took the car on another 20 minute drive, and its fine below 4k rpm, but 2nd bogs from 3k to 4k, and especially from 5.5-7. Not hearing any backfires anymore though.

Ran an Autologic on it when it first started acting up and only got ABS and PSM codes, no CEL. And yes I bought the part from Bosch, but it has the same Bosch number and same 996. number And when I installed new MAF, I disconnected the battery & touched the ends together to reset the computer, and I don't have any CEL or ABS or PSM lights so far.

Hello, I just joined Renntech today because I had looked through all the other forums and have read countless threads, and none seemed to help. So I decided I would ask you directly. I have a 1999 996 C4, and out of the blue, I was driving one day, and I lost power, and the engine bogged down, so I put in the clutch, and the engine died. I tried to restart it and it would backfire if I gave it throttle, then it would die. So I didn't see any obvious vacuum leaks so I unplugged the cord from the MAF sensor, and that got me home. It wasn't running perfectly, but it ran. So I just got a new MAF today, and it for the first 5 minutes of driving, it would drive terribly and misfire and backfire, and if the revs got too low, it would die. After a few restarts, it seemed to be working better, with the occasional backfire and bog at low RPMS or if I was in the wrong gear. So now I can drive it, but under full throttle, it lacks a lot of power and misfires quite a bit at 5500+ RPMS. Is there anything I'm not taking into consideration? Any help would be appreciated, thank you -wesley
