Hi guys, I have an 84 Carerra in my shop (OK, it's not a 914 but there's more talent here than some other forums) with an intermittent no start. The car has no spark then will start and run fine. I have checked the DME and coil connections but nothing else. It is getting fuel smell at the exhaust during no start. Anyone know of a condition that might cause this? Thanks, Brad Mayeur

QUOTE(Ferg @ Aug 1 2011, 12:19 PM)  DME Relay? That's always my first thought. I have both an '84 Carrera and a'95 DME engine in my 914 and I carry a spare DME relay in both cars. Other than that, the DME won't send spark out to the coil until specific sensors report in successfully... I looked at the factory electrical diagrams to see which devices are energized at each ignition switch position. |
