I have a 1999 Boxster. At 9500 miles the engine blew up. Ira motors in danvers replaced it with a rebuilt engine. I have had numerous problems with this car since then but it has been under warranty. My car is always garaged in winter and has only 25,000 miles on the new motor. In mid oct. Of this year my car started running rough when started in the morning. It was due for it's 30,000 mi check up soon so I took it into the dealer. I spent $1000 for the check up and two days later picked it up and it was running rough again. Coughing, choking and stalling out. I left the car there. The dealer told me they couldn't duplicate the problem. I took the car home and when the weather got colder it happened again and again. I have taken it back to the dealer 4 times. The last time the service dept. Told me there was nothing they could do and that they had several cars up to 2005 models doing the same thing. They told me it was a winter fuel additive in the northeast that doesn't get along with Porsche Boxsters. My other cars run fine on the same fuel. Meanwhile what am I to do with a car that won't start in the winter. I cannot sell it this way and ira Porsche of danvers, MA said they cannot fix it. I have been on line and found several other cars with the same problem. How can you help me? should I only drive the car in summer in California?
