maybe mine is different, but the only time i have to turn the ignition on and press the button is when i try to start it w/o unlocking the doors (like when it has been in the garage). I just lock/unlock the doors with the remote and it starts right up. I suppose if you live somewhere where you have to lock the car, you would not even know it has an immobilizer. Also, FWIW, if you leave the key in the ignition, the immobilizer is bypassed (but your car may be gone).

Yeah mine works that way as well however I would think that anyone who had owned a 993 with an imobilizer would have experienced having to use the immobilizer, hence knowing the procedure. They guy I bought my 993 from had no idea how the imobilizer worked. He just said to lock and unlock the door prior to starting everytime!

OP is from Canada. Possible his came without the immobiliser? Def. agree with getting a full charge on the battery. May not get enough juice from the cables to start.

Has been said before. You either believe that it is an under voltage issue (most likely weak battery) or you are wasting time and money for the "fix".
It is quite easy to diagnose with a simple voltage meter ...
