Hello everybody!!! Nice to be a part of this forum, and porsche loving community!!
First of all, I got my first car, an '87 924S towards the very end of the summer. It was a treat i found on eBay for $650 just 30 miles away. My dad, who is also somewhat of a car enthusiast, was taken by it quickly, and he decided to buy it then and then. Thanks dad!!!!! It turns out that there was a lot more going on in this car than i expected. First of all, the seller said that all the car needed to run well was a replaced oil pump (according to 3 Porsche mechanics thats a major load) and a battery. The reason it was so cheap was the poor thing was smashed up by a tree about a year ago, and i imagine this car hasn't run since before that.
So, my dad and i decided recently that we should trailer the car over to the local European car place, to have it looked at before we turned it over. It turns out that the fuel pump was bad, we put a battery in it, and checked out the electronics. They were fine, so i went ahead and bought a used fuel pump, and a new fuel filter so i could kill two birds with one stone. I finished everything on the fuel system (i hope) today. And turned my baby over for the first time in a long time. It took a while, but she ran.
The problem is, she ran very rough. The oil is ok, but the pressure is low. At first, the oil light went off after about 30 seconds of the car running, but the guage stayed at about 1/2 to 1. I'd like some input on this, because i turned the car off, and then restarted it, and the oil pressure light stayed on, i didn't let the car run for too long, so it may have gone off if i had left it, but i didn't want to mess anything up really badly. I'm thinking of dropping the oil pan to see if it's full of junk, or if anything is stuck, please give any input on that also.
Thanks guys.
