83 944 no start why?
Hi guys I have a 1983 porsche 944 na
In attempts to change a radiator I somehow screwed up my car so badly it won't start anymore, so here's what happen I did a simple radiator change since my car was in need of a newer one I beleve I did everything correct pretty simple job but when I bolted everything back on it, it decided it would die out complete so hopefully you all can give me some tips so the car was running and driving before I did the swap and the only electrical things I did was the fan power cables and the water temperature gauge but both I put back correctly I beleve problem is when I turn the key I hear the starter run but no start. Tested the spark was getting perfect spark and I used a jumped dme just incase i could hear the fuel pump running just fine but still no start? I sprayed starter fluid in the air box and it started but died out as soon as the fluid ran out? Cleaned my grounds! What do you guys it could be? Ecu? |

i'm not sure if your problem is comma-plicated or not, but it's certainly comma-place. did you leave anything else unplugged somehow? any vacuum hoses left wide open?

Hi Paul,
You might have bumped the distributor cap or the coil and wire when you pulled the fan shroud out or in. Take off the distributor cap and check the rotor too. Check the AFM connection for a tight fit. Maybe Dave has a few more ideas as well. He is a real com-a-cal guy. 944 Foot To The Floor J_AZ

If your car starts and runs with starter fluid, you have a fuel problem. Either the fuel pump is bad, the FPR is bad, or the injectors are not working. Check the injectors with a noid light, check the fuel pressure with a pressure gauge.
It's not your ignition. If you had an ignition problem, the car would not run with starter fluid.
