My 87 coupe was hesitating at 4000 rpms so I took it in to a mechanic to see what the problem was. I thought it was possibly the air flow meter based on people's opinions here on the board. The mechanic said instead it was the fact that the distributor cap was on backwards (?). Which caused arching. Which might have fried the DME. This afternoon the mechanic is going to take a good DME and install it to see if that indeed is fried. Mechanic said after replacing, distributor cap, coil, and plug wires, it was still hesitating. So next thing was to test the DME. Cost to replace coil, cap,wires and labor including diagnosis, was $750. Guy said today cost of rebuilt DME is around $1300.
Neesless to say, I'm not a happy camper.
Does any of this sound right? I'm new to 911 ownership so this is all new to me.

P.S. I just read on the board about someone beingpissed about spending $250 for something or other.
I got a good laugh out of that one.
