Garage
Back to Life

Thought of this thread tonight... and brought it back to life.

I've been working on my stereo install http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/920412-gordos-stereo-install.html

After 2 days of cleaning up a mess of under-dash wires and running new stuff, I finally wrapped things up and decided to go for a quick, late evening test drive.

I made it about 1/4 mile down the street and my car died !!!

Freaked a bit, wondering what I could have jack up with the wiring (first impulse - turn the stereo OFF and try to start it again ). I quickly gave up, ran home and had my wife jump in the truck to tow my car back home.

Once I pushed it into the garage, I realized I never reinstalled the fuel pump relay (I pulled it so it didn't run while I was checking out the stereo - I know it shouldn't, but it does).

I have PMO carbs - it appears you can make a slow 1/4 mile pass with the gas remaining in the fuel bowls...

Relay's re-installed. Fuel pump works. Car and stereo are just fine. Nothing to see here
