Yep, its the fuel pump, not just the relay (of course it's not). I love it when you put her to bed in the garage at night after a fantastic day of driving and next day..............wont start and fuel pump is gone. Seems strange to me but I am not a car nor a mechanic. When I called to check in on the car he says "ya its definately the fuel pump I already ordered one." I say, "how much is this fuel pump you ordered, I can get one overnighted to me for $250?" He says, "um i think around $320." I say, "I really appreciated the call before you made this diagnosis and went ahead and ordered the part."

What are you gonna do i guess, but what is the average time it should take a mechanic to replace a fuel pump??? i can swallow paying a little extra on a part because or mark up, but not labor.........especially if he takes more time because of lack of experience with Porshe's.

The guys at RUF replaced mine in an afternoon, and that included an hour and a half of diagnosis. I replaced the original one in an evening myself. If it hadn't been for the crap relay, it would still be working and I'd still have a fat wallet. You should be able to get your car back by tomorrow evening.

:dance:

Got it back earlier today, cost $550 total, pretty reasonable, $200 for labor and $350 for the pump. Thanks for everyone that helped with this issue, feels good to be in the cockpit again.
