Michael,

You could not go wrong by sending the DME to either Ingo or Sal (scarceller) both active members of this forum. They have excellent reputation and expertise.

I had Steve Wong rebuild and add a chip. I also had him resolder the original relay. I should be good for 20+ years.

Since you have received help from the Pelican Parts Forum consider sending your units to Pelican Parts,
as they provide that service too.

Surprised to not have seen many who frequently post on the Forum mention Pelican Parts.
Well, so much for trying to "payback" the Forum for all its contribution to the Porsche community
and DIY Porsche projects!

I have purchased 10's of thousands of dollars worth of parts from Pelican. I didn't know they provided that service.

would have made you aware of the many Pelican Parts services, i.e. some in the catalog and others not.
One can always use the phone and ask the Pelican Parts Customer service when doubt, right?

And then if you're really into DIY efforts, you can solve your potential DME ECM problem (95% of failures)
by a 5 minute soldering effort of 3 intermittent pins:

Bob Ashlock (That's his user name on this forum) will purchase your old one or rebuild it. I chose to go with an MSD unit and pointless distributer unit and am very happy I did.

I got my CDI from Loren at Systems Consulting just yesterday, the guy went as far as driving 35 mins to deliver it to me himself.

If not, I think they must be sitting on opposite ends of the same stick.
