On my 996, the issue was corroded battery Y cable in the engine, where it splits to go to the starter. I am not sure if that issue is common on the 986 as well. It is a well documented issue on the 996. When I took mine off, the side in the engine bay was very much corroded with green corrosion. It looked horrible.

It was embarrassing when my car wouldn't start on a out of town PCA drive about 2.5 hrs away from home. I was massively relieved when it started after the engine cooled down.
