Car Starts then dies

Hello all,

Been having a lot of success with my 911 for a while, haven't been on the forums lately...

However, I seem to have upset the Porsche gods. Hit a deer at 4AM driving to work. Minor damage to the hood and RT fender/headlight.

It was a super nice day a couple of weeks ago and I decided that it would be OK to go for a short ride with a dented hood and broken headlight. Drove for an hour, got lunch, and then it wouldn't start. First time I ever got a tow home, in the nearly 15 years of owning it.

Since then it will start, but then dies after 10 minutes of idling in the garage. Then I can't start it until the next day, where it will die after ~10 minutes. I just installed a new fuel filter and accumulator.

Trying to figure out if it is a fueling or a spark issue.

When I crank it over the tach is bouncing all the way to redline. I don't remember it ever doing this before. Any advice?

Thanks!

Alex in WNY
