Boxster in trouble

Hi All, I am new to this forum having recently purchased a 2000 boxster S. I am a long time porsche fan having had several 911's in the past and a 996 currently. The car was a bit shoddy when I got it but I spent a few days under it replacing the spark plugs, all filters, oil, all 4 disks, new brake pads, new radiator, new alloys etc. I was delighted with the outcome for a half an hour test drive but when I tried to use the car the following day it would not do anything other than idle. No response from the accelerator at all. I guessed it may have been the MAF sensor so I unplugged it and yes the car would rev and drive albeit very roughly when cold. I bought a replacement MAF sensor and installed it only to find that I now am back to the situation where the accelerator does not work again. I plugged the car into a diagnostic and got no fault codes. In one of the test results, I did get an absolute throttle position of 100%. I contrasted this to my 996 911 result which was 0% absolute throttle position. Only other thing of note is that there is a pronounced click when the key goes to the on position from the e-gas throttle body. Is that normal in the boxster? Thanks for any help in advance.
