1997 Boxster 5-Speed. Been having an issue with hard starting when cold. After it cranks and runs awhile it will start right back up and run fine. I feel like it's the fuel pressure in the lines bleeding back into the tank when the car sits for awhile. However I am still open to suggestions if anyone thinks otherwise! What I am wondering is if this car is like my Land Rover in that I did not have to replace the entire pump assembly when it had the same failure. I was able to buy just a small silver pump from AirTex that replaced the pump in the assembly. So I spent $40 instead of $700 for the repair. Anyone know anything on this issue?
