A weird thing...

[Houston C4S]

Ladies and gentlemen,

A weird thing happened with the Econoboxster
(so called because I found a 2001 Boxster
with 6,500 miles on it for $23K a few
months ago) yesterday.

I thought I would go on ahead, get out
of lurk mode (Randall Neighbour called
me a lurker the other day) and post
this and see what you all think.

So here goes.

This is yesterday, as I said. In the evening.
Oh, and this is in Houston.

And I just now got home (8:00!), the top was
down in spite of the half a billion degrees and
175% humidididity and after getting into the
house find out that the power must have blinked.

The A/C, thank the Almighty Lord of All Things
Good and Right, was working fine. But the TV
was blaring away, the computator was off (being
a Mac, I only do a restart every month or two
whether it needs it or not), and had to restart the
wireless network, etc.

Okay, so that's not the question -- I am just
sort of setting the stage.

So whilst opening the gate to the vast Weisser
estate (really only a matter of exiting the car and
unlocking the gate) the Econoboxster, idling
smoothly as usual, just up and quit. As I walked
to open the gate and upon hearing it do that, I
said, "Hmm. That's can't be good."

I actually said a few more words than that but
they needn't be repeated here.

Getting back in and turning the key, it sputtered
and didn't start during the first turn
of the key. But it did start up after that and ran
fine since. Got it in the garage, etc. and all is
fine. So far.

And that's the question. What's up with that?

Mechanically, it sounds normal so whatever it
is or was has to be some sort of electronical
thang.

Have any of you experienced this?

Thanks for your time and attention.

Best,

- Mark
