I replaced the harness and installed an engine from an 03 boxster S, finally after 7 months I was ready to fire up the engine, but it did not. Everything on the electrical part is looking good, but when you turn the key the starter does not engage. I read that maybe I need to replace the switch key or reprogram the computer(DME?) to communicate with the engine. What do you think? any advice?
Thanks
