Hot Start?, Ticked off owner! Options

[Razorbobsr]

Getting my car back from Porsche guy, drove 70 miles to home just fine. Get off interstate and engine stalls, hit key and nothing!!! Tach pegs at 7000 but no starter engagement, do have hot start kit. Car ran GREAT all the way home. Ideas? Help needed!! Thanks Bob

When you said moving the solenoid wires slightly and then it started, that points directly to a defective connection. Check those lugs well where they are crimped on. If suspect, crimp on a new spade lug on that yellow wire. Unless you have a built engine, you really do not need a high torque starter. Most all of the problems with these cars are bad grounds, suspect connections, etc, not the starter itself. No one else I know does this but, removing the starter and solenoid and removing the solenoid from the starter and cleaning it and lightly lubing , then wiping the solenoid plunger and plunger cavity will greatly improve the performance of the starter.
While it is apart, check and clean the contacts for the starter current at the rear end of the solenoid also.
