Does your system use the original crank position sensor or an aftermarket one on a toothed wheel? Any chance either bracket could be damaged and the distance incorrect so not giving a signal to the ECU?

Ah well - if you don’t eliminate these things then they forever play on your mind

One other thought - isn’t it the cylinder head sensor that you loctited in? Any chance of contamination on the tip of the sensor?

If the 3.2 is the same as the 964 it is not so easy to identify the wires in that connector block by colour as one of the sensors is a 993 part and changed colour. I can’t recall what the 3rd is, but one is CPS, I think the other cylinder head temp sensor for cold cranking I think. I’ve replaced bot...

From my experience; 1. Jump the DME (jumper lead with 3 male spade connectors) 2. Crank sensor - I don’t know why, but these seem to be made of chocolate these days and I have replaced two within 1k miles 3. Disconnect the ECU and reconnect. I had mine not play a tune for ages and the clamp that dra...

Def took the right path there - same as with the hydraulic clutch on a Boxster, if pressurised you can either bend the rod out of the slave cylinder or miss the dimple that it sits in. Take the pressure out and you have to bleed it, which is a ball ache, but better than replacing. By the way, for bl...

Neat work Mark

Good progress - that alternator wiring is always a bit tight in the shroud - I changed the alternator in situ a couple of times on the 914/6 and it was not fun, and the earth that goes on the case is normally pretty short so doesn’t allow much wriggle room.

Good work Mark. I would order some high temp loctite to set the stud in place. It’s expensive stuff, so if you have no other use for it I prob have enough left to sort your stud if it helps.

It’s a great pic. I am trying to g to make out all the cars in the Andrew’s fleet - clearly Sunbeams and Mantas as you would expect, a Chevette HSR at the back but what is that in front of it? Looks like an Audi Quattro?

No worries - they do loads of modular stuff, really neat if you are not trying to keep OE. It makes doing all this kind of stuff really easy, and despite Grahams hatred of electrics, quite enjoyable to do. They are local to us too, but the mail order is spot on. You can get thin wall cable too, so y...

I would probably fit a small single or twin fuse to the side of the main box - vehicle wiring products do lots of neat little things like that, and you can just power it with a hot feed
