Intermittent Starting Issue, 01 Boxster S

Intermittent Starting Issue. Looking for some troubleshooting help on my 2001 Boxster S (986.1, 105k miles, manual).

Lately, I’ve been experiencing occasional lazy starts, and today it has started to not crank at all sometimes when I turn the key. It’s intermittent, but it’s becoming more frequent.

I’m thinking about starting with relays—do they tend to fail intermittently before completely going bad?

Also wondering about the positive battery cable—is internal corrosion a common issue on these cars?

What else should I check? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
