Can anyone tell me what this wire went to? It was located around the cold start plug. I was trying to see what it went to and ended up breaking off the wire and the plug. It is a large plug. I wonder if this thats something to do with my car not starting. The wire looks to be white or beige. There is another wire that is connected to some below this one that looks to be the same size.
My haynes porsche book isn't worth a crap trying to find out this stuff. Thanks in advance! Attached image(s)

If that is a D-jet car and the CHT lead is disconnected....unless it is connected to ground....the car will not run.

Mine is a d-jet. Maybe this has been my issue all along. Thanks! My page (in my sig) has detailed D-Jet troubleshooting information. If your car isn't running, don't assume it's the FI. For the car to start, basic mechanical (compression), electrical (battery voltage), ignition (spark when cranking), fuel supply (pressure when cranking), BEFORE going after the FI. Make sure you have all of the parts of the FI system, the harness is connected correctly to the FI components, and that you have done basic checks on each of the components (see my page). Use a noid light (Amazon) to check that you have signal at each of the injectors, and if necessary, pull the injectors and verify that they're spraying fuel. |
