DME relay?
I will start at the very begining. I have been having this problem for a few months now. I have replaced (in order of replament) Starter, alternater, swaped in friends DME relay, speed. ref. sensors, FPR and Damper, AFM and DME. Dont know what I else I need to get rid of this problem. Everytime I instaled something from the speed $ ref. senors till now the car would start (maybee so 20%, maybe not 80%) and run for no longer than 3-4 minuets then shut off. Last week, I installed the AFM and DME and she started so I let her run for 30 mins. or so, and shut her off. Tried to re-start, and she didnt, but did about 30 mins later. Today, she stared 1st try so I took her around for 15 mins or so, parked, shut her down and tried to re-start her, started 4 times in a row out of 4! Later on I tried again, and she didnt start, no tach bounce either. Later, again, I tried to start her, had some tach bounce, but no more than 200RPMs, didnt start. Tried starting her again, tach bounce some, some, some more, and she finally started about 5 seconds later, and I shut her down. Tried starting her a few more times, and same thing, tach bounce, but firing up a few seconds later. Started her again after dinner, didnt start first few tries (no tach b) then tach boiunce and she started, so I took her around the block. Drove for 30 minuets or so, and at a STOP sign, she shut down. I played with the speed sensors, checked fuses, and tried to start. Nothing, nothing, and nothing. So i went home. I dont know where else I can lok to try and fix this car.
Well, yesterday I was trying to fix my DME (inspect and resloder) didnt look like anyhting was wrong. I put it back in, but notcied that Pos. #1 relay is the same, its the fan relay. Pos 1 and 2 are the same relay, different part numbers, but the same. I was swapping out the relays, and sometimes started, and sometimes didnt. Today, with ?bad DME? in Pos. 2 (DME relay spot) started, I shut her down, started again. Swaped the Pos 1 $2 and she started. Re-swaped where the ?bad DME? to where is orignally was, and she didnt start. Took ?bad DME? Pos. 2 out and put in the "Y" jumper as Clarks recomends, and she started. I am confused. I am going to the local Porsche dealer and going to pick up a relay, hopefully they have one. Any help would be appreciated. Tahnks guys.
