My wife took her Boxster to the selling dealership for its first oil change. While driving home the CEL started flashing an then went to solid. She called me. I told her to shut the engine off for 15 seconds and restart to see what would happen. The warning light went off and I told her to continue home. AS yet she isn't home!
Any experience with this problem?

We will watch the car closely for a few days and see what happens. I really get anxious when things like this happen. The car has always been babied and has about 3100 miles. It also is a TIP.

 

CEL u sually related to emission prob.
some 987 have "inefficient o2 sensors" (that's the read out from PIWIS).
it shouldn't disable the car however.

 

Cars are like women. They have no respect for you if you baby them. Beat on them when they deserve it and they both will run much better.

 

i did beat on her, wife that is.
but that didn't go over well when 997GT3 RS topic came up.
