'84 Carrera Non-Starting
I have a 1984 911 Carrera that was running fine when I put it away last year. Now for some reason it will not start. I have heard that one culprit may be the DME relay which I had another but would not fix the problem. I also did a few checks on my original DME relay and it seems to check out fine.
Here is what I know;
All the time there is power to terminal 30. By the way these tests were done with the relay partially inserted so I could still put a test light on the terminals.
When the ignition is turned on terminal 86 become hot and the relay "clicks". I have also checked the ground at terminal 85 and it seems good.
When the ignition is on there is also power at terminal 87. While this provides power to the fuel pump the pump does not go on and there is no power at the fuse. When I jumper the fuse or at the DME relay the pump does whir so I don't think the pump is bad. I suspect there is some issue with the the control circuit from terminal 87b.
Lastly, I believe that when I jumper terminal 85b to ground the fuel pump does run.
Is there a way to check the DME without sending it out? Any ideas? I still plan to do the spark plug check and see if there is a spark but based on what I've done so far I doubt it will. Thanks
