Can anyone identify these plugs?
Hello, I am trying to identify a no-start condition on my 944 and while reviewing my wiring harnesses i came across these unhooked connections
 #1 coming from firewall behind cam housing, this joker was hanging next to the exhaust.   #2 one of those wires runs to that thing wrapped around the spark plug wire, and the other runs straight back to the transmission (haven't been under the car to find out exactly what)  #3 this plug is next to the battery in the firewall compartment area.  #4 last but not least, behind the radio... stock radio plug?

#1 and #4 are for cruise control equipment.

Awesome! thanks Jrboulder. From what I can tell, someone tried to bypass all the cruise equipment. There is a huge mess of wires under the center console. I may just try and eliminate all that junk, I don't need cruise control.
check out what I found on the plug going to my DME...  and here is the culprit, this wire is one of the ghetto-rigged cruise control wires spliced into my brakelight switch.  I taped them up and tried to start it, but still no fire. Probably DME is fried

Don't be to concerned with the "extra" plugs you find in your wiring (if they are factory installed plugs), Porsche used one wiring harness, and depending on what options the car originally did or did not have would dictate what plugs are and are not used. Get yourself a copy of the wiring diagrams for your car and start tracing them out.

Your DME migth not be fry but the relay migth be.Before attempting to start the car again I suggest you fix those wire on the plug going to the DME. This site will help you outClark's Garage Home Page once on it (click on Garage Shop Manual) and scroll down to DME relay it will show you it's location in the fuses/relay boxe & how to test it.BTW the PO must have been a hell of a fork lift mechanic to make such a mess of those wires,notice something else you got the wrong oil filter on it it should be a Mahle OC -142.GL

I've already replaced the relay
 And that filter is the best thing I could find because the previous oil change had been done about a year ago.... it had to be done.I did fix the wires in hopes it would help and nothing. And yes, the guy must have been a reverse-rocket scientist or something!

Any good oil filter is fine, I have used the STP in a pinch.
