Replaced my 1995 993 DME today
My car is a weekend car. A couple of weeks ago, it started, stalled and then was hard to start. I got it started and drove 100 miles, with no trouble and several normal restarts.
This afternoon, the car had been in the garage for about 10 days and I went to go for a drive. It cranked, wouldn't start, after several attempts, I held the key in the on position until all noise seemed OK (fuel pump) and it restarted. Usually, this car starts first time, every time. Anyway, I drove out to a Porsche dealer, a bought a 993 DME, changed it out, hopefully this fixes the problem. I'm keeping the old one as a spare. The new one is slightly larger (taller) and made in Hungary. Thanks. Leo

You should repair the DME and have it as a backup or sell it. If you sell it repaired is woth much more than broken.. Invest a bit to recoup more of the expense of the new DME.
I'm afraid to ask how much for the new DME... Good luck!

Ahh, the relay not the DME (is the computer).
Yeah that relay goes bad with time, safe to keep a spare in your glovebox You're lucky... ;-)

Oracle, you are thinking of the ECU, which is the engine control unit, the DME relay controls the fuel pump etc......
