Do a simple test.........

WHen you get the no start occuring.... carry an extra plug....

Pull one of the wires and attach it and lay it on the manifold. Fire it up. If you have no spark. You can rule out the fuel pump and vapor lock.

The connectors that lawrence mentioned are definitely a big problem........... if you ever have the pleasure of cutting into ANY of the connectors on a 20 year old 944 you will find the leads extremely corroded. They normally look fine from the outside....
