while i am not a professional mechanic, i have some experience with the 944: i've owned two, and a 924, and worked on a couple other 944's. i've sorted a few electrical problems on them, to say the least.

does the tach bounce when you the engine is turning over via the starter? if you don't know, you need to find out.

have you tried swapping the DME with a known good one?
actually, the 924S is a reskinned early 944. the 944 shares few of the electrical and drivetrain components of the 924. the 924S came out in 1987, using old interior and body panels that porsche had laying around, but used the 944 drivetrain and electrical.
