Hey all. I've run into a strange starting problem with my 924 lately. A couple of days ago I started it up and drove it about a half block to a stop sign, whereupon it promptly died. After a few confused moments and failed restarts it came back to life and ran without complaint for a few days, whereupon it refused to start. I got to work on it a few days later (today) and it started right up without me doing anything to it.

To my mind this seems like an electrical short, but the more I read here and the more I think about it the more it seems to me that it's a problem with the WUR. Anyone have thoughts on what might be causing this? Would a slight vacuum leak cause similar symptoms?

Have you tried plugging in your spare (known good) DME relay?

I've tried it now, and it perked the persnickety beast right up. Sorry for the long reply, and thanks so much Gohim: )
