Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

So I read similar stories but the diagnose seems to be everywhere - the story goes....my 08 cayman never fails to start in the morning - fires right up and there is plenty of juice in the battery.....however if I drive it to say the store, shut if off, go about my business, a try to restart it...it's dead. Depress the clutch, turn the key back to the left and try to restart it. Sometimes this take 1 to 3 tries but it does start. I heard rumors of ignition switch, loose cables, clutch switch but it seems odd that the problem seems similar yet no one solution thoughts?

I would start with the clutch switch and if that's ok move onto the ignition switch.

$25 and change and really less than a minute to swap it out with the old one (twist 90 degrees, pull, unplug the old, plug the new, push, twist done)...took me longer to get under the dash.....for now this seems to have rid my gremlins.
