Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I cleaned my MAF a couple of times, but replacing it works much better and they are not expensive and very easy to R&R.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I�ve only had my 996 for about three weeks, and it�s the first 996 I�ve ever owned. However, I�ve had a 986 Boxster for seven years. At least that gives me some familiarity. Anyway, there�s been two occasions that I�ve driven the car a bit spirited while entering the highway and the PSM and ABS lights both lit up on the dashboard. And seriously, nothing too aggressive, not even exceeding the speed limit (just rapidly reached it). Nothing felt odd about the car, it drove and continued to drive normally. No odd sounds, smells, smoke or anything. Later, after reaching my destination and starting the car back up to go somewhere else, the lights are off. No problems. It�s only happened twice, but I�ve certainly driven it spiritedly more than twice. Was wondering if anyone else has seen this behavior. Is it normal? Anything I should be worried about?

POST 2Original post

clean your MAF sensor. A guy up the page solved the same problem as yours by doing just that.

POST 3Original post

I had the same issue recently and it was a plug that misfired.

POST 4Original post

read your codes.........this will tell you what is going on. Code readers are cheap and widely available. I cleaned my MAF a couple of times, but replacing it works much better and they are not expensive and very easy to R&R.

POST 5Original post

You should get a code from po300 to po306 for a misfire. You can get a cheapo code reader for 15$

Actually, a code reader sounds like a really good thing to have anyway - even if I wasn't having this little issue. Sadly (as embarrassed as I am to admit this), I literally know nothing about code readers. Has anyone got a recommendation or two? Is there one that has an iPhone app? Just curious. I'd like to pick up a decent one. Thanks in advance!!
