DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

OK I swapped out the DME relay for the one in the glove compartment but no joy - exactly the same (great cranking but nothing firing) I don’t know the one in the glovebox is any good - are there tests I can do with a multimeter to confirm that? So I guess if it’s not that then it would be most likel...

No I haven’t touched that Jon - good call - I think I’ve got a spare one in the glovebox. I’m at parents house for a birthday now so will try that when I get back - the DME relay is the one under the passenger seat isn’t it? From memory when the engine wasn’t earthed there was mad clicking which cou...

Yes that’s plugged in - is that the fairly big one with I think 4 connectors in it?

There is a chance you’ve fried a small earth wire (sensor earth or similar) as the starter motor earth would have taken any possible return path. Haltech recommend earthing the ECU & all related components to the engine block for this reason. So there is no alternative path back to the battery,...

Thanks Jon - Tried that but no joy. I had labelled up the other side of those so didn’t think I’d mixed them up

No it’s not that plug Here’s a picture from 5 years ago when the car was running fine https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240421/271b39189a62b62739b06844a17cd5f6.jpg Looks like it’s just lying there then. It may have been connected to the engine bay fan which I removed years ago when I ‘backdated’ my...

OK there is also a spare plug….. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240421/239c9142df245c920d5cf4c06aa1673e.jpg It had the blue masking tape on it when I found it. I wondered if this is an unused plug as a result of the conversion to the fancy MAF and dizzy replacement. However I’ve just gone throug...

Good to see it going back together Mark, these things do put up a fight sometimes! Best of luck for the rest of the weekend Thanks Gary. Not going well today. I initially tried to start it with the engine earth not connected. Didn’t go well - rev counter flipping all over the place and lots of clic...

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 b...

Yep - it’s a Canems system. Been excellent

Looking forward to hearing it run
