2001 996 occaional starting problems
New to this forum, hope someone can help me out.
I have had this used 01 911/ 996 for a couple of years, most issues are basic and easy to track down.
1st signs of new issue, took the car on a 3 hour drive, next morning after a few minute run to the store, she wouldn't start, my oil level sensor ramped up from a 5 second to a 10 minute test. after letting run, the car started.
Wife drove the car to work a couple of times 20 minutes each way, all good.
she drove to work as usual and after work, car would not start.
she waiting for the 10 minute cycle of the oil level ( reports full) no start (does turn over no problem) sprayed a little started fluid and it would hit, so looks like the fuel pump is shut off.
I towed the car home, pushed it into the driveway, put the charger on it since I ran the battery down pretty low trying to start it , the next evening, walked out 5 second oil level test, and it fired right up.
Any ideas out there? Would be helpful to know which sensors interrupt the fuel pump, thinking thats the best place to start????
