  1. No, I connected the clutch wires and it still does the starting sound without actually starting. I t is like there is no spark. I would attempt to look at the spark plugs, but still have yet to figure out how to access the engine. If I don't get any suggestions, I will end up taking it in next week when the Porsche mechanic has an opening.
  2. I have a 2001 Boxster. I drove it to the store, went in for a couple hours and came out to leave. Put the key in the ignition and turned it on to start. Car makes the normal cranking sound to start up, but that is all. It won't catch and run. It turns over strong. I left it in the parking lot and made arrangements to tow it the next day. I went back and tried to start it again. It sputtered, so I floored it and after a sudden "pop" it worked. I drove it home and parked it in the garage. A couple days later (when I had time), I tried to start it again and get the "cranking" sound, but no "spark to life". My mechanic can't even look at it until the 16th. Any suggestions? If any suggestions require actually seeing the engine, please explain how to expose that area. Thank you. Oops: Car is 2001 Black Boxster 5 speed LHD US (not sure which engine). I have found some suggestions, but need to know how to tell if these are the problem. I have been told it could be: Ignition Switch, DME, Fuel Pump, Clutch Switch, Ignition Coil, etc.
