just left it with Ray Catena Porsche service. I gave the car to the service consultant and told him that the car had an error code P1502 fuel pump realy short circuit and that I cleared the code myself. I also asked him to look at that
annoying infrared sensor that has come loose and is lowering the window every time I go over a bump. They also offered to remove two dings (door and rear quarter) for $130, I agreed.

Twenty minutes later the consultant returns with the tech saying I need a new hard top relay and throttle body.

I informed the guys that the hardtop relay ($100+) is brand new bought within the last month at their part desk. He said he would take a look at it again.

Now for my big problem,
Initially I didn't inform the service consultant that the car got wet with top down and started acting up an hour later. I told them about the incident asked if they could simply replace the fuel pump relay and see if it the car would fire up correctly since the error message said "short circuit...."
Their response was that they put in a throttle body from another car and the car started up fine. What's peculiar is that the throttle will act perfectly fine if I can get the car started correctly from the get go. This only happens if I stall the car intentionally and imediately attempt a restart. I drove a long distance to the dealer (I know bad idea) sifting gears in out of neutral and the throtle and idle were perfect. As soon as the car is turned off back to limp mode.

They gave me a loaner for $50 and will call me with their reassesment.

Am I crazy or does it sound like they they aren't looking closely enough?
