Thanks for the clarification. I think I understand now and you are right about the rain "thing" no one would be driving our cars at all in the rain.

Anyway, one way to test the starter is by running a long wire from the battery positive terminal to under the car and find the large red cable on the starter. Being very careful, take the wire and place it on the starter positive and if it runs and cranks the car without hesitation, or that awful sound you having been trying to describe is gone, then you know it is not the starter. It would have to be something else causing the problem electrically like maybe the ignition switch is bad. However, the ignition switch should be okay if you are able to crank the car even if it is slow. Just another suggestion to try.


Do you have the owner's manual for this car? Or, a Bentley workshop manual for the 911SC? These have good troubleshooting sections in them and worth the money. If not, I will take a look at my Bentley tomorrow to see if there is any other things to try...since I am at work right now.

Hopefully, someone with more knowledge with these types of problems will chime in by then with some good suggestions.
