Hi all. This is one I haven't seen on here yet. Here goes. 1997 Boxster with new starter, battery, ignition switch. If i don't disconnect the battery at night, no start, nothing at all.
When I drive it and turn it off, it will not start. Here's the weird part. If I disconnect the battery, wait about ten minutes, re-connect battery, it fires right up! What am I "resetting" by disconnecting the battery? Any and all help greatly appreciated in advance.
Also, after I drove it today and it would not start, I checked the batt and had 12.9 volts.
