2012 Porsche Boxster Intermittent Ignition Start Issue

5

Asked by Paff4o Jul 07, 2019 at 02:10 AM about the 2012 Porsche Boxster Base

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hello, I've purchased a 2012 Porsche Boxster Base a couple months ago;
27K miles. Initially, the ignition system started the engine from the first time I
turned the key. Recently, I've noticed that I need to turn the car key several
times in order to start the engine. Do you have any ideas on how to
troubleshoot the problem? It seems that there are multiple reasons for this
issue... immobilizer issue with key, clutch interlock switch, ignition switch, the
battery itself, etc. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
