I was driving the 914 home from my in-laws I decided to stop for ice cream for the girls. It had started just fine at their house, then drove for 20 or so minutes before stopping. Bought the ice cream, then the car wouldn't start back up. Battery seems fine, and I think the starter was fine as it was turning over, but the engine wouldn't fire up. Sorta seemed like no fuel? Waited a few minutes then tried again but no luck. Called home to tell the wife, then naturally my cell battery died. Waited a few more minutes, tried and failed to start, then walked home to kill time and post/search on here (and keep my wife from freaking!) So any tips? |

If your fuel pump is running, you probably have what was mentioned by Rich. If it happens again, before you put the gas pedal to the floor, turn the key to off. Prevents a shot from the injectors, which makes the problem worse. I've had this happen several times and asked before. If you are good at the search function, look up hot,hard to start. Brad Anders gave me the answer.
