Weird 991 4S Startup Behavior
Posting on behalf of a friend:
Car: 2014 991. Manual transmission
Automatic "shut off" feature is off.
Way to initiate:
Best way: Start car from cold. Drive for 5 minutes. Park car for 15 minutes to an hour. Restart car
Other way: Park car in very sunny spot.
Symptom: Car will turn over but not start. After a number of attempts, the car will start up, but when you push in the clutch, it will stall out. It will then try and restart itself. The severity of the "stoppage" is correlated to difficulty of starting (if it takes five minutes to start up the first time, when it stalls, it can take five minutes to restart.) The symptom persists until you turn the car off for about 5 minutes. After that, it starts just perfectly and runs great.
This happens about once a month.
