where to start
This car has given me no problems until a week ago, its been raining a bit here. The car would stall at idle sometimes and could not get it to start back up. Wait like 5 minutes and it starts again. Car is a 86 944 turbo and has chips in it. where shall I start. Fuses? Fuel Pressure? Spark? TPS sensor check? If I can get any help here I would really appreciate it. Because now car will not start at all. Its averaged about 85 degrees here weather wise. This is very bad for work. Cranks well. 3.0 bar fuel pressure reg. Reliaboost controller if any of this helps.

Keep it simple.
Do you have spark while cranking.... Do you have fuel pressure while cranking....

Your DME relay may be due for a change. Both times I had mystery start problems with my 951 and my S2 it was the DME relay (those were the only times I've had mystery start problems).
The tps is easy to check as I understand it, just move the throttle body very slightly and it should 'click'. |

Hi Bro look in your floor well of the pass side is it wet ?
If so remove the forward part of the carpet to expose the wood cover on the DME boards see if this is wet? If so disconnect the battery, and remove the DME/KLR boxes they are on a metal set of rails, and remove the small bolt for the pressure line see if the boxes/connectors are wet if this is happening then you prolly have a hole in your battery box, and it is raining on your floor. If the boxes got wet try to dry them out with a hair dryer also look at the contacts and see if there is corrosion on them put the connectors back on with Dielectric grease ( if the boxes did get wet there is a pretty good chance they are fried, also look at the DME relay) Other things to check are the distributor rotor/cap for moisture and also the coil/ignition wires, good luck, Stan |
