I need your help
My 1990 911 keeps going dead as I pull up to a stop sign, red light, etc. I have a guy that will work on it without losing a couple of rooms of my house and a small child. Although he is an excellent mechanic, he is not that familiar with Porsche engines. He needs to know what to change out. Here are the following guesses:
1. DME relay 2. Possible vacuum leak 3. Ignition coil and wires 4. Torque the manifold bolts down. Check the torque setting. I know on the carrera's it at 18 ft/Lbs 5. I was told there are 2-3 switches/relays that could be the problem, but I am not sure what they are called (any idea). I know it is hard to diagnosis someone's problem without seeing the car, but I sure appreciate you trying. Thanks. |

Head temperature sensor. Located on cylinder 3 (left side of the motor, rear cylinder)
Bad DME relay: Car will not start Vacuum leak: Car will run like garbage Ignition: Same thing Manifold bolts: Not likely AFJ

Thank you so much. So, forget the vac and ignition and concentrate on the head temperature sensor?
