Boxster Starting Issue

[xavi.ordonez]

2001 Boxster 39,478 miles weekend car only.

Boxster will start right up, no puff of smoke, no idel problems. COMPLETELY NORMAL. Drives fine no rattle missfire. Go to store come out. WON'T START.... Crank it once. (ENGINE TURNS NO START).. Crank it again..(ENGINE TURNS NO START) THIRD TIME ( STRUGGLES A LITTLE BIT, BUT STARTS AND RUNS FINE) ..... Go home and park it.

Next Sunday ALL OVER AGAIN but this time when I when I get home try to start and it won't start until the 3rd time. Had to go out of town for 2 weeks come back. AGAIN SAME THING.

NO CHECK ENGINE CODES, THE WEIRD THING IS THAT IT WILL START RIGHT UP WITH OUT ANY ISSUES THE FIRST TIME AFTER SITTING FOR A WEEK.

Check your crank position sensors; it is in the bellhousing because it reads off the flywheel. When the CPS goes bad, the DME does not see the engine turning over, so it does not turn on the fuel and ignition and the car won't start; because DME sees nothing wrong, no codes.......

Right on the money!!! Replaced CPS and it now starts every time. Thank You JFP.
