Alright, this is so wacky that I had to post. I had sent a note out a while back wondering if anyone else had intermittent starting problems. Everything seems fine except the car would not start off and on. bottom line: the carpet got lose and gradually slipped under the clutch pedal not allowing full clutch travel. As a result, depressing the clutch at startup did not deactivate the safe start switch..... would have never figured it out except the rep at Rector Porsche clued me in....obviously a common problem with manual transmissions after a while. Only takes a minor movement of the carpet. -relieved-

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.

..blue, My driver side carpet used to move around a bit, and it really ticked me off, tho never prevented me from starting her up. If you turn the floor mat over does it have 2 circles that look like the soft side of velcro? If so, there are these black plastic pieces that screw into the floor boards that have the other side of the velcro, so your mat won't shift. Turns out I had 2 on the passenger side and none on the driver side, so I unscrewed one from the passengers side and now they both stay put...
the attachments came out of the carpet.....too much heel and toe or slamming the accelerator pedal.
