All good advise. I would guess that it's not the coolant temp sensor. I had one go bad on me. The car would start up cold and run forever just fine. But if you turned it off after it's warmed up, the car just wouldn't start up again until it cooled off. The coolant temp sensor tells the DME what fuel/air mixture to give the engine. If it's broke it gets confused and gives the engine either too much or not enough fuel/air. So I don't think this is your problem. Just for fun, I started the car and then pulled the wires off the temp sensor and the car runs just fine.

But, like we all know, there's just no rules with it comes to 944 issues. Especially electrical ones.

I have considered burning my car, many time.(literally) But don't, just remember how much fun they are when they are running good.

Good Luck.
