928 members-I really appreciate all the help to date.

As I am still working to revive my 1st 928. I have completed many of the suggested "To Do's" as suggested by many and after reading the 10000 posts on others having the same situation--a dead 928.

I plan on firing it up today but have a vacuum hose off and a what looks like a sensor that has 2 broken off nipples that I believe this line hooks up to. I do not see another line in the area--maybe one side is suppose to be capped off--again no manual so it is a crap shoot for me right now.

So looking at the pics--what is it? Will if affect start up--surely a vacuum leak will be there(cap it for now)? I tried to center the pics--pointing down towards deck of intake with green corrosion (part of cooling system?). I looked on the parts diagrams on Pelican and could not diagnosis which parts it is.

PO says it just stopped one day--sound familiar????

Here is what I have accomplished before I turn the key.

*Full charged battery
*Cleaned all grounds accept inner rear pass. panel grounds and hidden ground behind ac dryer pass side front(to do list still)
*New cap/rotor
*New pump and filter(pump was seized up-after soaking it did suck)
*Drained and cleaned tank
*Removed all debris from engine bay--critters love this thing-lol
*Replaced a few hoses that were broken off by PO
*Check and rechecked for cracked lines--yes the eyes can't see it all and I suppose all vac and fuel lines are in order asap.
*Cleaned fuse board-all new fuses installed
*Crossed #30/87 on relay-power to the pump
*Pulled wire blocks from front of fuse block-checked--all shiny

So here I go. Going to put in 2 gallons of fresh 93 octane and some Techron.
If I had more time and $$$ I'd pull it down further--time will tell.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1343745346.jpg

Relax (relax relax relax..)

We need some information first..

Just the basic facts (model year, has it ever run? )

Can you show me where it hurts?

Crap--forgot the most important part---the year--dah.

Trying to chill--need to hear the rumble and of course-
do more work on it.

Turns over freely--bought it as non-running.

The PO was obviously working on relays and fuel pump
but not sure if they found anything out.

Have 2 gallons ready to go into it--going to make an attempt
and will post what I find out.

Will jump both relays first if it doesn't fire (PR and IR)

So it must be a temp sensor with vacuum ports to tell
something to do something--like the technical terms--lol

Don't know if yours is still intact but it should have has a vacuum line diagram on the under side of the hood.

Taking a wild guess ...

No hood diagram
 

Was hoping it would be there but long gone.

Thanks Danglerb
 

Hey those diagrams really helped out. Man did that discussion get crappy--some guys think they are the top dog--usually never the case. Any way will be using the info to straighten my 82 out--THANKS!
