Good news, bad news. Sorry not all sorted - at least you are on the right path with a narrower problem to navigate

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?

Run up the road (the first for 6 months sadly) and then dropped the oil ready for a little project which I will cover in my resto thread

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?

what happened to the spare wheel? Never had one with this tank :) I fitted the big tank many years back and never got around to buying a collapsible spare. Can of ‘fix a flat’ and a pump is the plan now. :) I have a few Boxster spare wheels (the super narrow ones) if you want one Gary Sent from my ...

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?

Got the race car off the stands for the first time in 6 months - 3 days short of the season opener at Anglesey. It is easy to see why I struggle to get it on and off the trailer and keep cracking under trays…. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240429/ed6e2cd98737a526c6d45a662eaf60c6.jpg Sent from m...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

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

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

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

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

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...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

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...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

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...
