997 GT3 won't start; problem solved

The dealer found out why my car would not start. A squirrel nest in the DME.

I certainly will be more cautious storing the car next winter.

I will surround the car with squirrel traps!!!!!!!!!

The car was stored at an extra detached gargage we have at out home.

We live in the country, were the wild game roams.

Funny...On my 996 Turbo S rats ate a bunch of wires in the engine area. Ended up costing over 4k to fix...

You should make a small concrete structure to prevent squirrels assault.

Woe, amazing how they figured out where the DME is. I know guys who still after reading DIY guide still fail to locate it.
