I had my Porsche 911 Carrera 4S for 4 years now and spent a fortune trying to get the warm start fixed. 28,000 miles on the clock

Problem..
Car fires up on cold start - Great Smile

Warm start say I drive for 10 mins park up and then restart its struggling like mad to startup, so bloody embarrassing pulling up in a flash car that sounds like a coughing dog when starting up.. wrrr wrror worrr worrr worr then starts and sometimes I have to turn car off then try again in 5 mins


These are the actions I have had done in order to get this fixed and failed.

1. Part number 997-607-019-03 ("alternator/starter harness", "alternator/starter cable loom")

2. Battery Earth Cables

3. New Battery

4. Coil packs

5. New Starter Motor 2 months ago (helped for 1 week and problems back)

I just want to enjoy this 911 for the first time before my finance is fully paid...

Please help guys before I do this to it...

You should put your post on the water cooled section of the forum for 997s
This I the air cooled forum

I take that you mean it cranks slowly when it happens. If you suspect the voltage/current is low on the starter, you need to perform a voltage drop test on all the high current cables between the battery and the starter including the battery cables and the ground cable(s) on the car.

I guys sorry about he late reply..

I had 1. Part number 997-607-019-03 ("alternator/starter harness", "alternator/starter cable loom") replaced and this done nothing..

Week later my wife came across people having the same problems by chance on a mercedes forum. She said replace the crank shaft sensor .. I told the indi to do this and guess what after 4 years of hell and hating the car its bloody well Fixed :-) see women are always right lol

thank you for all your support and advice
