Hey buddy,
I`d put money on it being an alarm immobiliser issue. Exactly the same things happened to me. My mechanic cleaned up the connectors and it worked/fired perfectly. Needless to say i promptly change the alarm and never had the problem since.

Hello Olly,

You know what, that was my first thought too!?

I must admit there have been a handful of times when the car has failed to start, but switching the red isolator key off, and straight back on again has cleared it in the past!

Well, I have identified that I'm not getting a spark to the distributer.

Does anybody know where the Porsche immobiliser is located?

Hope it's not your ez69

What is that?...

Check the coil. borrow one if possible but check the coil

Ez69 is the brain for the ignition. I had mine go out a couple of years ago similar symptoms.
My coil went later but I got a high speed miss before it died completely. Check your coil first, if that checks out it's the ez69, brace yourself for the price. I think mine was 3k for anew one.

I agree with the alarm issue. I believe it was located under the drivers seat. Vinny at Gulf Performance in Florida took care of mine years ago. He contributes here from time to time. Mine is a 94, but they are the same system I believe.

Hi folks, sorry I haven't updated, but, I'm still waiting for a dry day when my auto-electrician is also free!

As Paul mentioned on the first page - check your flywheel sensor connector first. It is a black squarish 3 prong connector located right above the air pump on he left side. This connector is very prone to failure. Car will just die. Ask me how I know! No need for a mechanic to check this. Will take 15 seconds.

Not to worry... just put it in your garage under a cover and wait for someone to offer you $300K for it....
