Car Forum / Porsche / Porshe 944 / November 2006944 won't start when hot
My 1983 944 isn't getting as much use as it once did. This summer, I would take it out for a spin around the neighborhood and it was running very well. However, if I stopped and let the car sit in the hot sun for a period of time, it would not restart until the sun had gone down and the car had cooled off. Any ideas?

I've also seen this when the starter is worn and the brushes won't make contact - you don't say if it cranks and doesn't fire, or doesn't crank > My 1983 944 isn't getting as much use as it once did.

Literally, until the sun has gone down and the ambient temperature has dropped. >> My 1983 944 isn't getting as much use as it once did.
