While driving, Disengaged the clutch to change gears and the engine just died. Came to a stop and started the car OK. It did this 3 times within about 5 minuets, the last time it would not start anymore. Towed it home, got a new DME relay and all was good again.

Start up.

Bought a new one, the Porsche relay was NG right out of the box. I used a Kaehler all good. I keep 2 in my tool bag just in case.

Driving. About 15 miles from home and got flatbedded back. Didn't know what the DME was or did, so didn't have a spare. Ordered one online, changed it out a few days later, started right up without any problems.

Start up. Need to buy another spare.

First one caused intermittent misfire and spark cutout at speed.

Second one cut out on a hot day just down the road from where the car heat soaked in a parking lot . After cooling off it restarted.

My understanding is that the relays fail from cracked welds resulting from vibration.

Somebody here has posted a fix if you're good with a soldering iron.

myself, I just keep a spare in the glove box
