Below the Towers on Avenue of the Stars
Century City is towers standing on garages. The office buildings along Avenue of the Stars and Century Park East, the condominium towers and Westfield Century City all park their cars below ground. Much of that parking is valet or attendant-assisted, with cars stacked one behind another. So your Porsche is driven by people other than you, several times a day, a few hundred feet at a time.
Each of those starts costs the battery a large burst of current, and the alternator needs a proper drive to put it back. A move that lasts seconds returns almost none of it. A modern Porsche also shuts its control units down a while after it is locked, and it can stay partly awake if it is left unlocked with the key inside. The first sign is a slow crank or a warning message on the dash.
Short Starts and Fouled Plugs
For the first moments after a cold start, the engine runs rich and fast to heat the catalytic converters. Shut it off in the middle of that, as a valet move does, and the extra fuel stays on the cylinder walls and the spark plugs. An older car can foul its plugs or flood and refuse to restart. A misfire or a rough idle after a week of valet parking is worth having looked at.
A battery that has gone flat once this way usually recovers with a full charge. A single no-start is not by itself a reason to buy a new one. One that keeps failing points to the battery or to a module that is not going to sleep. We'll evaluate the car and give you a quote, so you know which you have.
