Almost lost my engine

[mendezabache]

Please Help with the electrical instruments in my dash board when I'm running my car, try to accelerate, or fall in a street hole, all the electrical supply goes down for seconds and return back; I review all the electrical connection, fuses, and relays, but continue the problem

These types of problems can be tricky. I would suspect that you have a common ground wire that has come loose. You may need a schematic to trace this and then a lot of patience to find it.

Are all the dash lights going out then coming back on? If so, that may be a loose ground.

Good luck.

You need to put the car year model on your signature

As an example, these are the ground points for a 1990 964. Look for the instruments ground MPXV.


Here is the location:


If it's not the ground, then it's a loose power wire.

Check your ignition key socket. I have a problem with the contacts. When it's running sometime the radio cuts in and out, so does the A/C fan, and headlights. Wiggled the key in the ignition and it's the culprit. Now I need to find out how much it cost to get a new ignition switch and rekey it

You don't want solid race mounts. The part listing 965-375-049/050 are correct for the 993 fitment.

For half the price, I recommend the Wevo mounts with blue pillows.

The engine carrier is P/N: 99311502190 and is a special-order part.

I will merge this with the engine mount thread...

Also happened to me... had to tow the car for 100 km...
Have a look at Rennline's site, they make a good reinforcement solution.
