1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
OK I’ve tried that now I first did the tests on the DME relay and they seem to be working fine - pin 87 is charged up with 12 volts. Then I went to do your test on the injector plug. Tested the first pin and got 12 volts. tested the second pin and got 12 volts again! Not sure what that means. I trie...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
Thanks Bruce that’s really helpful and cleared up what the 2 is What’s occurred to me overnight is that I checked the socket in the engine bay and it looked fine and clicked back together. However I never looked inside the male plug that was attached to the intake stuff So today the plan of action i...

I’m confident there is no loctite on the tip of the cts sensor but in any event that isn’t touching anything - it doesn’t bottom out in the hole
But anyway I don’t think the cts would stop it from starting - I’ve had a faulty cts sensor before and it started fine but ran badly

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
Thanks Wayne and Jon and Gary OK I’m trying to read this wiring diagram to help me work out how to test that plug wiring works https://ensaster.com/pics/pelican/diagrams/88-porsche-911-engine-wiring-diagram.pdf The top one is black and white and the bottom is the same one in colour. Looking at the w...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
I’ll try a spark plug tomorrow, but given how much it has been cranking there is no smell of fuel at all.
It won’t be easy to check out that plug but I’ll see what I can do
I’ll also see what I can do about running tests on the sensors

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
It’s a possibility but I did check it thoroughly when the engine was out and it seemed fine - everything clicked back together

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
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...

1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
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...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
Yes that’s plugged in - is that the fairly big one with I think 4 connectors in it?

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
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

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
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...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
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...
