I wanted to add in something that I tested last weekend. I was speaking to Steve Wong (via email about this) and would like to get some more opinions.

When I took my computer (911.618.111.08) with the SW chip set for a
Euro car, out of my car and put it in a 1988 NA 911 the car would not
start. When I swapped out the SW chip for my stock chip with my computer, the
1988 NA 911 car would start up. In the past I know I have run this 1988 911 with my computer before.

Steve commented that "the car should have started with your dme in your dad's car (1988 NA 911). if you did a chip swap and it started afterwards, that would indicate the 4k jumper is not soldered properly and may be intermittent. The swap action may have moved something. There are no differences in 'timing' and such that would make a difference in starting and operation."

I will check the jumper again but I was pretty sure it was soldered properly. Ingo is there anything else that you can think of which may cause this effect? I know this is a bit beside the point because the issue I am trying to track down is with my DME, however I thought that this bit of information may also help point us in the right direction.
