I had a similar problem just recently. It would take a while (10seconds or more) to fire up from a cold start when it's been sitting overnight. Cranked fine, just couldn't would fire up immediately. The car, 09 carrera 2 cab, has the HPFP 'campaign' replacement at 25K miles. Car has 55K now. So that pump lasted 30K miles...lovely. Had an indy shop look at it 1st and they said it was probably the HPFP and about $1400 parts+labor to swap it out. They suggested taking it to the dealer and see if they can do anything since it's already been replaced once. Dealer replaced the part under...wait for it...The Emissions Warranty. Not sure how, nor did service adviser understand how, but I walked in and walked out paying $0 for a new HPFP replacement. Just got the car back today and hopefully this resolves it. Anyone else know how this might have been covered under the Emissions Warranty. Did Porsche NA decide to just slide this part under that warranty coverage to avoid admitting a bad part?
Good for you!
