Engine Codes + Wet Door

Hi!

I'm having some issues with my boxster, I tried seaching here but couldn't find too many helpful posts to solve my problems without making one of my own.

First of all, I have a wet floor on the passenger's side. From posts allready here I've checked and tested the draining hoses, they seem ok, but found the bottom of the door panel on the passenger's side is wet, so this must be the source of the water.

I tried removing the door panel(note: NON-AIRBAG), but I only found a guide to a 987 online, and they didn't seem to be identical. Got as far as removing the door handle, the screw inside the storage-compartment on the door, and the one under the opening handle, but couldn't find anything else i could loosen for the door to come off.

How does the door panel come off, and what is the fix here; What's the common source of this problem? Anyone have pics of a fix?

Second, I got a CEL this winter whilst the engine was warm, I was on a long drive and it was like -20f outside..

Got it checked out via a friend with a cable/pc, and the diagnosis said this:



What do all those mean?? I'm prepared to have to replace an air sensor or two.. I've been driving slowly all winter and have filled gas with octane 95 (we have 95 and 98 here) (since gas-prices rocketed) and I've read that it could be my engine has been running a little thin on the air to gas ratios? Could a MAF-cleaning help on a few of those??

Firstly, I would clear the codes and then drive and see what turns on - we're not sure here how long those codes have been stored.

Secondly, I have an article coming out next month on the door panel removal. If you send me an email at wayne@pelicanparts.com, I will email it to you in advance!

I spoke to the previous owner (bought the car in august) and he suggested the same; I'm embarrased I didn't think of that myself, that I probably don't have all those codes left after deleting them; that there might just be 1 or 2 left hopefully

I'll send you an e-mail right away, Wayne.. Thank you so much for the help!
