  1. I ordered a new clutch switch. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks for the advice.
  2. Hi all, Thanks for the recommendations. I forgot to mention that I already tried a new key. As for the clutch (yes it is a stick shift) I believe they checked if it was worn out but I will ask again. Is there a way to get a diagnosis log from the computer, etc. to see what happened when this happens next?
  3. Hello, I own a 2004 911 4S at ~70K miles. There is an ignition problem that the mechanics were unable to diagnose. The symptom is, *sometimes* when I turn on the ignition the car won't start right away. Sometimes I have to hold down the ignition for a few seconds and other times almost half a minute. As I said, this happens intermittently, since they could not replicate it consistently they were unable to pinpoint the cause. When I am holding down the ignition, I hear no activity in the car (no cranking of the engine, etc.) other than some faint electrical noises which I assume the AC and maybe something else. Once this happens I realize that it is more likely to happen consecutive times as well then car goes back to normal randomly. Also there might be a correlation with cold weather but it happens in warm weather too. Another thing I realize is, if I try to turn the ignition right away after bringing it to stand-by, there is always a lag. So far I had the ignition assembly replaced and battery changed but no avail. This is a big annoyance for me and I am even considering selling the car because of it. And ideas? I am more than willing to pay for a good diagnosis :)
