I ran the "short test" on car and it gave me the following codes:
Leading evidence: 'Run "short' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check oxygen sensors' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

When the engine is cold check and see if the #1 plug is loose and check the O2 sensors for being tight or even present with wires on good.

Was hoping the durametric would help me decifer the codes into a repair plan in layman's terms.

I was hoping the software would help me understand what to replace/repair, but I don't understand the codes.

First thing I'd do is change the spark plugs if they have never been changed by you.
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.

I was hoping the software would help me understand what to replace/repair, but I don't understand the codes. Am I doing it correctly? Some advice please. Thanks.
I'd save some data files as the car runs now before resetting the faults. Then reset and see what comes back and work from there.
Not sure if you have any noticeale problems with the car. I'm thinking some faults might be from before and engine starts with out some things connected.
Make sure you read the instructions. I believe there are mentions of do not take any data from while driving the car as whats really going on. Plus I don't think the program was designed for reading while playing rev the engine and let it drop back down. There is also making sure the laptop is not on battery power. A convertor plugged in the lighter could get away from that warning window.
First thing I'd do is change the spark plugs if they have never been changed by you. The program isn't going to say your spark plugs are fouled. The way I look at it is number ones plug could be giving up the ghost with too much carbon build up. Whatevers right.
PS thanks for giving me the idea to check and see if there is a new version other than the test beta I last tried
I have a '99 3.4
It is basically stock with an aftermarket fresh air intake/filter (I believe to be Evoms, by previous owner) and Fabspeed exhaust.
It has constant CEL and airbag light. I know the airbag is seat buckle according to my dealer.
It runs like crap right now...missing, etc. Was hoping the durametric would help me decifer the codes into a repair plan in layman's terms.
I would start by looking for a vacuum leak causing your car to misfire and run poorly. I would begin by looking at the secondary air injection system lines for that leak. Here's a helpful link that describes the system and the replacement of the secondary injection valve if that's the problem:

Here's a helpful link on tracking down vacuum leaks in a boxster that might be helpful too:

Good luck!

When the engine is cold check and see if the #1 plug is loose and check the O2 sensors for being tight or even present with wires on good.
I'm not sure if a bad plug condition would cause a chain of events starting with a misfire fooling the secondary air into thinking the engine is still cold making that system give non matching info so its "Signal implausible". Maybe even the last guy in there hooked wires up wrong. Anythings possible. I don't think the computer has the ability to know if the spark plug wire are all connected to the proper plugs either. Wouldn't be the first time for that one either. Don't let the data fool you into thinking it will lead the way. It's normally the same old world of problems with more data to take your time instead of doing standard trouble shooting and elimanation of possibilities.
