1985 911 starting problem
I'm new to the forum. Thanks to all who write here.
I have a 1985 911 Carrera that failed to start when it was quite cold. I have the car in a garage and start it and sometimes drive it every week or two, normally. It turns over well but does not hit at all, and has not since the first failure to do so some weeks ago now.
With the key on, a voltmeter reads about 12.6 on each post of the coil, but, when I check for a spark out of the distributor, nothing. Although I have not always smelled fuel, I did the last try before writing this post.
From my reading it seems it may be the DME, but would welcome other possibilities. I do not have a friend who owns a 911 to try a DME from another car.
What things may be at play here, please, that I can try to pinpoint the problem? Maybe other tests I could run"?
Thanks for any help anyone might be able to offer.
