I replaced the MAF(and also the 6 spark plugs). I also upgraded to a GT3 throttle body and an IDP plenum. I also replaced the pre-cat O2 sensors on Both cylinder banks. I should have replaced the coils too, but they were OK. My faults all went away.
Nice!! Just got a 2005 Boxster 987.1 and this is one of many things I need to do as I do this for our other two cars (a Subaru and an Acura). And as you know, most difficult part of car maintenance / repairs seem to be removing old parts!! Also I just joined Planet 9 and following your posts 🙂 Keep up the good work for a Porsche newbie like me!!!
I replaced the MAF, and it ran great for one day and started missing really bad, I swapped the old MAF back in after hosing it down with cleaner, and it fixed it for like another couple of weeks last year.
@@RuslanVideoFilms Well I got it all apart and cleaned. Big thanks to you on what tools (Torx Plus) were needed so that I could have them before I started the job. I think my moderate rough idle has been improved a bit from this cleaning and the engine is running a smoother. Thanks again!!!
Title and description have been updated for accuracy. Thank you for the correction. Context for those reading these comments in the future - for the 987.2 the MAF sensor is integrated into the hosing #14 here: www.planet-9.com/attachments/air-input-jpg.123401/
Have you cleaned your MAF sensor? Any tips?

:D Will do! Thank you for the kind words and that's exciting. That's an impressive collection you have. Yes removing old parts is "fun" hahah!
Thanks for the tip on those pesky security screws. I looked at mine and sure enough, there they were.
You’re welcome. But sorry they’re there 😛

Sounds like an incompatible or faulty new MAF?
I have a bit of a rough idle on my 2005 Boxster. I'm gonna give this a shot. Thanks!
Let us know!

@@staceybsnyder Glad to hear! 🙂
This will not work. The MAF on 987.2 Boxster/Caymans is MUCH diferent.
