Just wanted to introduce myself, I just acquired a 1983 Porsche 944, it was free so that makes it even better. I owned a 944 new in 1985 and have missed it ever sense I let it go.
The 944 I acquired is in OK mechanical condition but the interior is gone, it looks like it had set for a while with the sunroof and hatch leaking. The only rust it has is the seat bolts and I have cut the passenger seat out and just waiting on getting all the other items fixed and in good condition before I take it out so I can test drive it. So fare I have changed out the cam and balance belts, water pump and idler pulleys also I have replaced all the vacuum hoses, water hoses and outer belts. Where it had been wet inside I have had to clean all the electrical connectors but everything works and is now running OK.
I now have a few questions that I know someone here can answer.
1. When I rev the motor and let off the RPMs will drop down to about 600 to 700 RPMs and then return to 900, is this normal?
2. When I rev it, it is kind of rough at first then smooths out, I have new motor mounts to replace the old ones, maybe this will help?
3. My temperature will go almost to the (red) right before the fans kick in, Then it will goto mid range. Maybe the temp sensor is bad? I have replaced the DME temp sensor but cannot find the one for the guage. I have also replaced the TPS, vacuum temp switch, all injectors and regulator. I figured they were old enough that they needed replaced anyway, replace them before they go bad.
4. Am looking for the trim around the interior door handle in brown.
5. Anyone around the Fort Myers, FL. area?
