Default 930 cut off issue

Reposting from the main forum:



Hi all. I am experiencing what feels like the onset of a problem with my 3.3l 930. I had the engine cut off while driving off from stationary. The engine was still cold. I managed to get it started after a couple of minutes. The starter has been working fine. The fuel pump fuses are OK and I quickly checked that the pumps work by alternately taking out each of the 2 fuses. I have not tested whether the yellow relay in the engine compartment is good. What might be relevant, is that I have recently noticed the car being slower to start. Similar to a weak battery, however I have checked that and even kept the car on a ctek since, so as to eliminate it. Any thoughts?
much appreciated!

There is a fantastic thread on Pelican regarding stall/cut-off/no start problems.

The only real advice I have, separate from what is mentioned in the above thread, is to be wary of getting caught in the "throw-money-at-parts" trap. It's very easy to do with starting issues because you have A LOT of components that could be the culprit.
