Out of all the 911s out there I think this one has had enough fuel flushed through it

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
That’s a real shame.
Good to narrow it down but a bummer when it turns out to be the complicated expensive bit.
Has it ‘lost’ the map?

Re: Assessing an unknown engine
Can you split a case without removing the pistons? Will the case move pass the stuck piston? Sent from my 22011119UY using Tapatalk Yes, but at this point you can pull the circlips out, knock the gudgeon pins through and pull them off. Possibly. The crank's at 90 degrees so some are alongside each ...

Re: Engine issue
If not clearly misfiring then it still had at least some spark and some fuel. Spark tends to be binary rather than partial failure, so a whole engine power reduction I’d definitely call fuel supply out first. Unless of course your floor mat is under the throttle pedal or the linkage is about to drop...

Re: Engine issue
Collapsing fuel line maybe? Stopping just lets it recover long enough to get something through then goes again.
Is it misfiring or just losing power?
What engine/fuel/ignition system? Your MFI 2.7?

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
…but with all the cranking I’ve done i think I’d expect to smell a bit of fuel, so that avenue seems worth investigating 100%. You’ve proven spark. Only one other ingredient needed! (Except air!) I’d imagine if the temp sensor wasn’t working you get the wrong mixture, i.e leaner than you’d ideally ...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
Just throwing ideas out there…
What actually makes the spark on your car? I know you have the CANEM ecu for the fuel but where does the spark come from?
