Driving to work this morning, I pull up at a stop light in traffic, and when I go to start again, I get distracted and I stall the car. This is actually only the second time since I've owned it that I've stalled out
Bad part is, when I turn the key off, then on again to restart it, it won't start. Can hear the starter turning it over, but doesn't start up.
Then I notice that on the instrument cluster, its doing an oil-check and counting down from 5:00. So I wait for that to finish.
Says oil is full.
I let it count down to 0, then try again to start the car. Still doesn't start and automatically tries to check the oil again, counting down from 5:00
After my second try, I try one more time to start it - this time I wait about 3 minutes then give it a go. This time, it only counts down from 0:06 seconds doing the oil check. It says full oil. I haven't put any oil in in the last 500km I've driven or anything like that.
Whats going on, any ideas? I had it towed to the stealership by 1-800-PORSCHE but they can't look at it for a few days.
Make sure you turn the key all the way to the left first, it resets the computer. After the key is held there a second or two (all the way to the left), turn it to the right as usual and the car should start.
Edit - Re-read and saw you had it towed. I hope it is nothing major ... I think the dealership would have told you about the re-start process after a stall.
I asked the service tech on the phone, he was totally brainless.
I didn't know about the key thing, I could have tried that for sure.
Oh well, tow was courtesy of Porsche and the dealership is going to fix my illuminated door sill problem while the car is there, plus give me an oil change.
I hope its just a computer issue like you say! I get nightmares about engine parts.
Kor it simply sounds like you didn't turn the key all the way off before trying to restart. Oh and the owners manual has a couple of good tips on starting that you might have overlooked as well. pg 76 of the '06 manual.

I'm scared that it will be something big
I had the same experience. I did not know about turning the key to the left though. I did figure out very quickly that the electronics have to reset, about 2 1/2 - 2 minutes.
It was actually a bit low but not to the point where the warning comes on and not to the point where it lights up the lowest 1/8th of the tank on the gauge.
But... it was almost that low. Right before the point where the needle would get that low.
Possible the fuel gauge was showing i had more than I did?
I had the key out totally and back in - not far left enough?
Then I suspect you didn't have the clutch fully depressed. (sorry I keep calling driver error but that is what it sounds like or least I hope so since mechanical problems would lead to more down time)

No its not that because the starter started.
I have had this exact problem twice before. First time I panicked, second time was prepared. Even to this day Im not really sure what it was. Suffice to say, that after waiting 10 minutes it just started up like if nothing happened before. Electronic gremlin?
I'll see, I know the clutch was depressed, key was turned, starter was turning over. There was definitely something weird going on with the cluster/computer in terms of cycling the long 5 minute oil check.
Electronic gremlin?
