Ok, so I pulled the battery and took it to a shop, it needed charged for a half hour but checked out ok. Reinstalled the battery and the car started back up with no problems. So, I am thinking it's a bad alternator. If so I need to have it towed around 25-30 miles to the burbs to get it to a Porsche dealership because I read here it's not good to drive without a generator. Anywho, I tested it with a digital multimeter, and here are the results:
Car not running: 12.41v
Car running, no accessories on: 13.52v down to a steady 13.05v after 90 seconds
Car running, A/C and headlights on: a steady 12.65v
Car turned back off: 12.42v
Are the above numbers indicative of a faulty alternator? If not I guess it's on to replacing the ignition switch to see if that fixes the problem.....
