I know. I was mooching truck favors from my next door neighbor in SoCal for about a year. He's a great guy, but I just didn't feel right counting on his generosity. So, on our most recent trip, we spent two of our days shopping for and buying our truck. It's already made 5 trips to the landfill to get rid of (de)construction debris from our renovation projects. I love it!

<div style="font-style:italic">Is the car issue with the engine management or with the body stuff. The reason I ask is there is a lot of VW in the pre 85.5 944's. They are basically re-skinned 924S's</div>

The initial getting it started problems appear to be with the engine management. The fuel pump will cut on if you jump it but, even after changing the DME relay and the sensors it will not cut on when you try to start it. Hubs turned it over by hand(which is good because it's not locked up obviously) but we have no fuel, no spark etc.

Did you see my write-up on the sequence of events for a engine start? It explains how the DME/relay/sensors all work.

Took a little while to find ;-)

Here's how the <span class="highlight">DME</span> <span class="highlight">relay</span> <span class="highlight">works</span>;<br>
<br>
When you turn your key to ON, the first <span class="highlight">relay</span> is energised. I stays energised in the START position. This <span class="highlight">relay</span> provides 12V to the <span class="highlight">DME</span> (pins 18 & 35).<br>
<br>
When the key is in the START position, 12V is also provided to the <span class="highlight">DME</span> on Pin4. Through circuitry in the <span class="highlight">DME</span>, this 12V causes a GND out on Pin20 that energises the second <span class="highlight">relay</span> and turns on the fuel pump.<br>
<br>
After the car has started, Pin4 no longer has 12V to provide to the <span class="highlight">DME</span> circuitry that provides a GND for the fuel pump part of the <span class="highlight">relay</span>. But with the engine running, the speed sensor sends its signal to the <span class="highlight">DME</span> and again through the <span class="highlight">DME</span> circuitry, it produces the GND signal from Pin20 and keeps the fuel pump running.<br>
<br>
Cheers,

Free advice on any topic.

...just when I thought there weren't any true romantics left.:)

Valentine's Day... not the 'bloody massacre' kind the 'brib your wife wife material things and candy' kind.

Huh?

V-Day is the one homemade Hallmark holiday I get to skip over, I called it way back when and have a built in free pass to ignore that one

I'm an Aussie bloke. Nuf said :-)

Heading in to my staff meeting of doom. Wish me luck.

When we saw them last year they had a huge computer controlled sound board.
