Both of your cars throttle plates are dirty. Clean them with throttle cleaner really good front and back then recalibrate and restart. Happened to me many times.

I bet one of your codes is throttle jacking.
Happened many times on yours but no parts have to be replaced?

Nope. The throttle gets dirty from oil in the intercooler and oil behind the throttle plate and it can't read correctly the throttle position so I have to clean it once in awhile. Make sure you take off the electrical connectors on the throttle body before cleaning it the do the adaption after done.

Thanks for the advise, will have the workshop have it clean tomorrow, hopefully can have the issue resolve, the throttle has none response now and not drive-able.

Yup it's tough to drive when the spring test can't complete.
When it happened to me I adapted it then restart the car and made it home 1 mile. In the garage it happened again.
It was first actually happened in the afternoon, it shocked me and I had it reset and clear code using durametric, the code just gone in a sudden and I can drive it as usual for 10km, but I can feel the throttle response is somehow weird. After dinner, it just happened again and cannot be driven anymore.

Yup just clean the throttle plate and behind it. Should be fixed.

doesn't make sense unless the throttle is so dirty it is hanging up(which would take a large build up of carbon or oil and would lead me to believe there is something else wrong with the car.The jacking codes usually refer to the potentiometer (which is under the dash) or the throttle jacking motor gear is missing a tooth (its plastic)or throttle position sensors are bad or worn.

Throttle jacking is a good sign that your throttle plate is dirty. Even if it doesn't look dirty the sensor where your position sensor is needs to Cleve cleaned because of the oil in the boost hoses. I have had these codes and once cleaned they never came back again. I should write a diy on cleaning the throttle body. But you are right it always can be something else you never know with these cars. lol

By the way your car is fast as hell man.
Work shop took a look on the throttle and tried to move it, it found it is kind of a bit jammed but it is ok after manually move the flip, the car now performs ok again, and the throttle was actually v clean at all. Thats made me quite worry it will be happen again in soon future actually...
Went through this 2 years ago, cleaned the tb and it resolved the issue. I learned that the boxster of same year uses the same TB, so replacement tb's are cheap and in supply if you need one.

Forgot to mention I took apart the plastic cover on the tb and use some maf cleaner to clean the electrical connections that move internally. They had a lot of dust on them. Connections in referring to look similar to what slot cars have underneath them to connect with track.

Told ya lol.
Awesome please clean it asap while your there. It doesn't look dirty to your eyes but it is. Spray it with throttle cleaner and it will be fixed.
Please take the electrical connection off of the throttle body before moving it or you can snap your finger or mess up the TB motor. After cleaning reset the adaption and your done.
