I push the clutch in, I hear the click of the safety switch, I can hear the solinoid click on when I turn the key and power up the porsche, all the display lights come on, but the engine doesn't turn on.
i repeatedly pump the clutch all the way the the floor and eventually I hear the click of the safety switch transfer to the rear of the car and the engine starts. I've had the ignition control and solinoid replaced. It's really embarassing when i'm sitting there for 2 minutes trying to start my car! Help!

But the engine doesn't turn on. What did you meant by this-Is it cranking over and refusing to start or just won't crank at all/nothing.

Meaning it doesn't crank or anything. I keep pressing on the clutch until I can hear the switch click in the back and then it starts
