Dear resident genius...  The prior problem we discussed eariler (stsrter not disenguaging) was fixed by replacing the ignition switch 2 weeks ago.. 

 Now for the bad news, when I returned home from a drive  I parked the 968 in the garage, in gear, parking brake on & the key removed. Katierine & I then went out in the 996 for dinner, when we returned the 968 exited the garage & attacked my pick up.   Not good... The battey was dead so I pushed the car 20' back into the garage disconneted the dead batteriy & charged it over night.    

The next morning I connected the battery went inside & made a cup of coffee.. 5 minutes later I steped into the garage to see the 968 slowly leaving he garage powered by the starter, again the key was not in the ignition, the car was in gear & the parking brake on...  One strong starter......   What is you opinion ???  Joe

Maybe the car is telling you something. CoolBig GrinTongue:dude: Remember the movie Christine?

Joe,

If I recall correctly, didn't you have a starter issue earlier this year at NJMP?

I think that it is trying to run away from home.  I have a comfy garage for it. Smile

 

Sounds like a sticking (or stuck) starter solenoid.  If it makes contact, it will run the starter even with everything off because it is wired directly to the battery.

I like the possessed theory Tongue but I think Larry is correct.
