I've got a '98 Boxster that is acting up. It had been running fine but lately when it gets to 180 degrees it just stalls out. Almost like a vapor lock from my first 914. I have replaced the fuel filter, Crank Position Sensor and cleaned the MAF but it is still doing the same thing. It's as if it hits a kill switch at exactly 180 degrees.
Any suggestions would be apprecited.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Too bad he's not still around. Would be nice to "test drive" the car to see if I, you know, could replicate the problem (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The Tampa Brat Pack. Love it.
