its pretty slow on the boxter board so im posting here..
I am having a difficult time getting my obd2 in the ready state for emissions testing.. I just replaced a faulty MAF Sensor, the CEL is now out but after driving 180 miles over three days the scanner still says 2nd Air NOT READY.. any ideas?

What were the error codes? Sounds like you have a 2ndary air injection probelm? Which is quit normal as your Boxster uses the same prone to fail part as the 993.

One of those codes is a lean condition in one bank, but I forget which. On my car an O2 sensor was the culprit. The BMW readiness code reset procedure worked like a charm for me, but was still very difficult to do legally on public roads.
