997.2 Hard Start - HPFP Replaced -Fixed
2009 C4S, 12/08 build. 9000 or so miles. Cranked over for a while before engine fired off. Worse after a hot soak (run hard, turned off, restarted within 30-60 minutes) in hot weather.
High Pressure Fuel Pump replaced under warranty. Fixed problem.
FYI.

A few questions if you please...
Do you know if the dealer had a specific diagnostic test to determine the bad pump or did they just go by what symptoms you described to them?
Did the dealer have your part(s) in stock or did they have to order them.
How long did it take the dealer to fix your ride?
I just want to be prepared if this issue ever crops up. Thanks!

SABOY,
I had the HPFP go out on my 09 997.2 while on a trip home from New Orleans. It was about 8PM on a long strech of road. I ignored the startup symptoms that morning when the car was sluggish as I started it up. I just thought it was a symptom of the car being cold. The car ran fine afterwards and I ran around as usual and then started my trip home. I ended up having to get towed as I was too far to continue driving in limp mode. I was able to start my car as long as I applied the gas pedal and keep my foot on it a little bit.
I had diagnosed my issue prior to towing the car to the dealer the next day, so when I arrived I informed them of what my issue was. It turned out to be correct but it took nearly a week for them to get the part in from Germany. This worried me because it appears that they may have been replacing more HPFP than originally thoought.
