After over 10 years of ownership, I think it may be time to sell.

What is she worth?

1987 3.2 Carrera - Black /Black 117,000 miles, no rebuild, but not needed

tail side marker inner lens

I changed out my lenses last week and while I was in there I found that the previous owner had lost the right tail side marker inner lens.

I replaced the reference sensors and the head temp sensor prior to biting the bullet and sending off the DME for a rebuild. I don't regret doing so because I have eliminated those as potential...

Bearing on the fan or AC unit maybe?

Is your AC still working and if so have you removed the belt going to the compressor yet?

I am sure the 968 is a fairly underrated car. I looked at one before I bought my 911. Call me shallow, but the minute the salesman called it a hairdresser's Porsche, I was done.

Just wanted to end this thread. The new DME fixed the issue although I think the it now idles a little too low at about 500 RPM. I dismantled and cleaned the ICV, which many have helped marginally...

It seems that a rebuilt DME was what finally solved my no- start issue. Unfortunately I have a new problem

DME was bad

Well, I sent the DME for a rebuild to Florida. They tell me the diagnostic revealed that it stopped sending a signal to the coil. They needed to replace more than just solder joints so I am glad I...

I think you are probably right. It could be the coil, but when it runs, it runs great, no missing or anything. I will see if I can pull it tonight and check the board for cracked solder joints.
