Intermitent Starting Problem

I've had a '99 C2S Cab Tip for just on a month now and really love the car. Having come from an SL500 the Porsche is so much more a "drivers" car but has the every day useability that I need.

However, on 2 occasions it has been difficult to start. Engine turns over and eventually catches and spits and splutters a bit before it settles and is then fine. Normally it fires first time whether hot or cold.

On both these times the car has been sat in very hot sun (rare in the UK I know)for about 2 hours and I'm wondering if some of the the fuel in the system has evaporated and it takes a few turns to get things back to normal. The fact the car is dark blue might give this theory some credibility.

What do you guys think and has anyone else had this problem and solved it.

Thanks

Denis.
