My 944 (I'm in the UK, by the way) occassionally wont start. It will run for
days perfectly, then just not fire up. Leave it a few days and it starts
fine. I've replaced the fuel relay, vaccuum pipes. Checked the coil, plugs,
distributor, there is a spark (haven't replaced them yet, though). Clutch
sensors are also new.

Anyone got any idea what it could be?

Apparently the ECU very rarely goes wrong and has never been known to be
intermittent.

Also......how do I tighten the Cam Belt, it looks loose to me?
