A-a-r-r-G-G-H!! It's back. On the way home from a party a couple of weeks ago the CEL came on again. The car had about 25K miles on it when this happened. The original dealer repair bill shows 24,428 miles when the repair was first done. This was late September and it's now early May. You can see the Boxster isn't driven very much.
I've been trying to look for a pattern to this and the only things I have come up with are:
1. On the 1st and 3rd occurrence the gas tank was near empty.
2. Around the time of the 1st and 2nd occurrence I had messed with the little locking plunger at the gas cap area.
Do any of these things light a bulb with anyone?
I'm going to buy an Actron CP9135 and reset the system again and see what happens. After reading all of the posts above I can see that the real and proper fix is probably one that is executed by a knowlegable mechanic. I wouldn't mind paying for the right repair. This problem really puts a damper on owning this fine car.
