Hello people, first post!

I found this forum while web searching for answers to my 928 problems. I bought the car 10 years ago not running. It is a 1984 model. From what a more experienced mechanic told me a decade ago the coils are hot but it is not receiving a spark signal.

Ten years later I have come to a decision to either fix or sell the car. Everything else about the car is what one would expect as far as wear.. the interior is shot but it only has 59K miles, and all the other electrics work.

My brother has an american 928s - also a 1984 that was a daily driver until a few years ago. We bought the full manual set because we have two of them. Our joke over the years has been if we put 15 thousand dollars into our cars they will be a wonderful ten thousand dollar automobile. Now that number has seemed to have sunk to a five thousand dollar automobile.

I like the idea of supercharging them, but also I have concerns about modern fuel. I can see them both put on a weight diet with new wheels and tire sizes but at the same time they are automatics. Neither have been in an accident so they are straight with good bodies and little if any corrosion.

So now time has come for a decision, should we retrofit these cars and keep them or bail them out to the community? My hobby time is limited and I would like to not have to continually throw cash into a hole after a one time full refit.

Does anyone have a opinion on what might be wrong with my ignition system? I am mechanically and electrically inclined and have 20 years of shady tree experience. Thank you for your time!
