Brandon,

If you take a took in the archives you will find that an intermittent starter is a common problem with the 911. There are several reasons for this, and the Bosch rebuilt starters also have a poor reputation because all the cores are old and the Bosch rebuild does not touch one of the problems. I have given up on the rebuilds and switched to the Japanese gear reductions starters. You have made the right choice. The hot start relay jumps the heavy starter positive cable to the yellow solenoid wire to by pass all the other wiring, switches and connectors. Do yourself a favor and install a $6 remote starter button in the engine compartment, like on the old Jaguar solenoid. If the switch, wiring, connection gremlin pops up you can start the car without crawling underneath. It also comes in handy for valve adjustments, compression tests, checking for spark, etc.
