I have an interesting starting issue . If I leave it for a couple of days it will start no problem on first fire , the longer I leave it the worse it gets. Last night I started it after being away for a week . I had to crank for about 10 seconds . and slowly it began to fire during that ten seconds and crept to life with a small pop.
When it does start it goes to about 1400 rpm and is fine, as the car warms up it drops to 900-950 no problem. After that everything will be fine , even next morning cold it will be ine.
I was going to check the cold start valve and thermo timer first but does anyone have any similar experiences ? I don't think the WUR could cause this as when it does start it runs idles and warms up fine.

any opinions ?

How did you get the engine back there?

oops how did THAT happen .. sorry guys .. must have been reading your threads ( as I often do ) and then posted my question ..

Incidentaly though I do find getting in to the engine on my SC a lot easier than I ever did with my 944s S .

Touche'. Just having fun. Wish I knew.

I would start with your check valve at the fuel pump first, and then the fuel accumulator. More than likely the check valve is leaking back slightly, allowing fuel to drain out of the lines over a length of time. If you have any issues with starting when the car is hot, then check your accumulator.
