85 911 No Fuel Pump, Injector Pulse or Spark

I have a 911 as in the title no spark and no Fuel

I have no spark
No Fuel but fuel pump runs when powered
DME relay is supposed to be new
DME relay clicks when turned to run bun no second click while starting
New coil
TDC and speed sensor read about 1000 ohms
The ICV does not seem to do anything in run position


I want to bypass the alarm module but can't seam to find it. Not even sure it has an alarm. It is a convertible if that matters. How can I tell if the car is equipped with factory alarm. And where is the module located?

Was also told they pressure washed it at the same time of no start. Not sure where all that pressure washed supposedly fender wells. Maybe that might click with somebody about the cause of my problem

Factory alarm key goes into the receiver on the back of the door. Silver with black trim. Just a black plastic plug if no alarm

Check the grounds in the engine bay and at the gear box to chassis. There may be moisture between the contact points.

I have a key hole a the end of my drivers door. With the key in run position what pins should I have power and ground on the DME connector?

Is there a way to jump the DME relay wiring to check? Found the alarm module bypasses with no luck.

There are 2 relays inside the DME relay module, one provides power to the FP, the other to the DME module itsself. Sounds as if the second relay's contacts aren't closing.

When I opened up the two NEW DME relays that were DOA I found several cold flow solder joints. Repaired both, not I have 2 good spares so Murphy says I will never have another DME relay failure.

Wrong order! The DME module relay initial relay "pick" first provides power to the DME board, then the "powered up" DME board sends a signal back to the second DME relay in the module to power the fuel pump! i.e. if the fuel pump runs, you have the DME powered up.

Amen on reflowing the solder joints on suspect relays. That is almost always the fix for a malfunctioning relay. It ain't "rocket science" or a mystery what goes bad, it's only a simple dual relay after all!

You can very simply take the question of if the DME relay is the issue off the table by simply creating a jumper to switch the systems on: DME Jumper Post
(Don't leave the jumper in place beyond the time you are actually testing or running the motor.)

That will supply the power to make the DME and fuel systems run. If that doesn't solve the issue it means the relay wasn't the issue.
You need to be sure the flywheel sensors (and others) are supplying the correct signals otherwise the DME won't signal the coil, turn on the fuel pump, trigger the injectors, etc...

I have to be missing something here. As I stated I changed the DME relay fore a second time and now have fuel pump activation. So one I just have no spark. Changed the coil and even went back to the old coil, no luck. Withe key at run position I have 12 volts on both sides of coil. How do I test the coil wires while cranking. Is there any kind of Item that controles or energizers The coil?
Both of my sensors test at 1000 ohms TDC and Speed. Could they still be bad?

Yes

Figured it out. Read in another posting that if you had a good reference sensor you could check for bad sensor and/or pickup. I did this and she fired up. Removed sensors and found damage and a sheared of pick up pin.

Does anyone know then measurement for the set screw?
