My 911SC -80 did run perfect yesterday and on the evening I parked it in the garage.
This morning I sense some fuel smell outside the car (but the garage is shared with many other cars so I dont know if it's coming from mine) and now it does not run. The car cranks and fires and then instantly dies. Tried this 4 times with exactly the same results, then decided to take the train before I will run the battery flat. I have checked the board but nothing I read fits into my problem. What might be wrong with it!?!? ![]() |

It could be fuel pump relay. Run a live direct to the pump fuse and see if it runs like that. If it does check all fuse and relay connections for corrosion and then try a new relay.
good luck

If it tries to fire while starter is turning, but dies when ignition switch is released to 'run' position ... and, if your car has a factory alarm with keyed switch in the driver's door, then the alarm control module is highly suspect! There is a well-documented [in factory service manual]failure mode of the alarm module that disables the car from being started!!!
Please read the following thread: '82 SC Won't run

When I moved the car (by hand) to get better light I found the reason. Someone had broken into and emptied it totally on gas!!!
![]() Thats why I smelled gas around the car! Put some 10 liter of petrol in it and now it spins again. The leasson learnt here is that the fuel-meter does not update itself if there is no gas in the tank. Mine was showing 1/3 of gas until it had run for some minutes then it dropped down and the red light came on. Going to the insurance company and local Porsche shop tomorrow. |
