Not sure if you're referring to the Acura or the Porsche.
I swapped out the starter on the Acura. Not sure who the Japanese rocket scientist was who designed two hidden bolts to the battery tray that are on the underside and must be loosened/reinstalled blindly, but that guy's an idiot.
And for the Porsche all I did was to futz around with two relays in the engine compartment (scrubbed them 'til the the contacts were shiny again), and now the car starts....for now. I wanted to get to the "speed relay" under the driver's seat, but couldn't get the seat off. Four of the six bolts holding the seat rails down to the floorpan are frozen. So if the car continues to have this problem, either I'll get smaller tools to allow me to undo those four pesky allen bolts and/or I'll change out the fuel accumulator & fuel filter. I have a spare filter on the shelf, but not the accumulator. Might as well do both at the same time.
