1984 porsche 944 engine problems

While doing a radiator flush today. I started to have a new problem or should I say I have a new problem. While idling along the engine suddenly died. I went to restart it and it would start right up but then die. I could do this many times, but the results were always the same, Start then Died.

I took a look to see if a sensor came unhooked or got wet while I was flushing, but no there wasn’t a problem there. After reading on the web a lot I found someone else had a problem like mine and said if he disconnected the temperature sensor the engine would keep running. So I tried it, and yes my car would keep running, but it didn’t like you to give it any gas. If you did it would try to die.

So I started the car with the temperature sensor unhooked and it was running, I got out and plugged the sensor in and the car died right away. I thought maybe the sensor was bad.
I bought one at the NAPA store, then ran home in hopes of it fixing the problem, but nope still the same problem…

Just so you know I jumper wired the DME relay just so I would know it wasn’t the culprit. The fuel pressure looks good. Good spark. I’m afraid it may be the DME module.

Any help appreciated.
