The original starting problem has returned. I managed to start the car after about 50 cranks and several loud backfires, then it started and ran great. I drove it about 60 miles to a Porsche event and I stopped at a gas station. Restarted the car with the first crank. After letting the car sit for 30 minutes, it's extremely difficult to start again. I'm goint to test the pressures using my recently acquired gauges. I'm going to search the PP archives for the testing procedure and take it from there. I'm not going to start replacing parts again and evidently my mechanic didn't fix the problem, so I don't think I'll be taking it back to him.
