That mechanic says the pump is working. Since they are not familiar with a Porsche I am reaching out to you for information. Thanks. I will try the replays and let you know how it comes out.
Engine shutting off during a trip, this sound like a classic DME Relay problem, you should remove the DME and tap it several times, then replace it, if that gets you going then it is the DME Relay. On an off chance that this does not work, it could be cold solder contacts to the high power transistors on the DME that energize the DME Relay, resoldering the contacts is the way to fix it.
