Thanks to everyone for all the help so far. I am a complete newbie to working on cars, and I haven't been able to convince my gearhead friends to help me yet so I am still trying to gather information.

My 85.5 944 NA is loosing rpms and sometimes cutting out completely mostly on the freeway after its warmed up. When it completely dies the ! light comes on, headlights stay on etc but the engine is stopped. I generally have to give it anywhere between 0-20 seconds before it will restart.

Today I found that the DME is burning hot to the touch after driving for 35-40 mins. Is that normal? Its a brand new, non-chipped DME. Also today it did something new. Driving on the freeway engine started to die, so I put the clutch in and it went to 2000 rpm instead of dropping down to where it normally idles around 900. Put it in gear, out of gear, didnt matter it stayed at 2000 rpm, give it gas and it would go to 2100 but no higher. Finally I pulled over, shut it off and let it sit for a sec, and then back on and everything else was fine for the rest of the drive home.

I still need help checking the fuel regulator, as I have no idea where the fuel rail is. pictures somewhere?

Thanks,
Max
