RE: Idling problem for 997 3.6liter
Do you have an "Engine Warning Light (Orange ) showing"? The Mafs is a potential cause if you got a lot of water around and into theAir Intake, as it could contaminate the "hot wires" in the MAFS.If it was any other electical fault on the ignition side, it would have dried out after the engine heat got to evapourate it off.
MAFs are not that expensive.
Did the Workshop run the Diagnostics on the car before they said it was the Mafs?
You need the Engine Diagnostic Check to be sure and toknow the right direction to investigate, so if they have not done a diagnostic check on your car, at least pay for that and see what that shows.

Can I suggest that you let your Dealer do the diagnostic and take it from there.

There is an engine timing sensor that operates off the Crank/Flywheel so that the revoltion of the engine is recognised for the electronics. It could be a sensor problem in this area giving faulty data and hence the symptoms you are experiencing.
