Hello Everyone. I'm back, and have pulled my 2000 Boxster S (90K miles) out of storage and have started driving again. However an annoying problem has developed.

Often times turning the key of the car results in the starter not engaging. No crank, no noise from the engine bay, etc. It's just dead.

When the car does turn over it will stall on the first and sometimes even second start. After that it will fire up, idle, run, and drive just fine.

I've replaced the ignition and the clutch switch. I've got no floor mat in the way, etc. There are no codes being thrown by the issue, and I've got no CEL.

Any thoughts?
