My 928 Refuses To Start! Help

[shamkrock5220]

My 928 has been sitting in my garage for a year and a half and I just can't seem to get it started. The engine turns over perfectly fine but for some reason it just doesn't want to start at all. The car use to run fine, but now I have no idea what the problem is. If it helps the car is a 1986 928s.

Like what do you have ie. spark, fuel pressure, flappy valve free, Reasonably sure all vaccuum lines are connected. Both coils have input power, Computor is grounded. Fuel pump is running when first turning the key.
Heck it could be a bunch of others things but these are the basics. Pull a spark plug and see what it looks like. Post your problem on 928s4vr.com Message board. and rennlist there are some hard core wrenches over there.

There's plenty of experts here too!

Pull out a spark plug and see if you're getting spark when you're turning over. Also pull out an injector and place it in a jar (if you can), and see if there is fuel getting to it. Fuel pressure is another thing to check - fuel pumps have a tendency to stick.

I usually like to clean all fuel out of a car that has been sitting for more than a year. After about a year, the fuel gets all gummy, and can clog the injection system if you try to start it...
