Car Forum / Porsche / Porshe 944 / August 20061988 944 cranks but wont start
I bought this car not running it had been setting for one year. It had a flywheel dampner center broken. I have replaced the dampner put the engine back in. No fire to plugs while cranking, but one spark when I stop cranking. Changed (in this order) Cap and rotor Battery Main ground wires DME relay (and tried bypassed) Ref sensor (new OEM) DME (used from a running car same #) Bypassed alarm per jumpers acording to clarks.com Checked adjustment of sensors Coil Compression good Rotor turning Sprinkled car with blessed water!!!!! :) Any ideas of what else to try?

Also check the proper spacing of the sensor on the bellhousing and your also check the IGNITION SPARK WIRES - or at least the COIL to DISTRIBUTOR ignition wire. My mistake was with the top dead center mark on the flywheel matching the damper. The flywheel had TWO marks. The one TOP DEAD CENTER and another one 180 degrees opposite. But the car started and ran fine - but it rattled in the housing at idle like a bit_h. It was very tough to find the problem. I was able to crow bar the bell housing far enough away to allow the flywheel to rotate with the damper stationary - to align the other marks. Thank god I didn't have to remove the transaxle again - or I wouldn't be here to write this. joliett -------- > you probably have the two timing sensors reversed - check that - they are > on the back near flywheel [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >> THanks >> T I have tried the swap sensor thing, and tripple checked the adjustment. So it is possible to get the flywheel and dampner 180 out. OMG!!!!! Why would they make it that way???? I remmember having trouble confirming the alignment. Just a thought if the ref sensor reads a single screw rotating on the flywheel. I can see it causing an out of time thing but could that really cause NO spark ? I guess I'll be pulling the engine again. #@&*@#!!*##$ T > I did this job on my 944 automatic too - oh what a joy! > Also check the proper spacing of the sensor on the bellhousing and your also [quoted text clipped - 44 lines] > > -- > > Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com there is one sensor for TDC, one sensor for ignition (i think it has two screws) >I have tried the swap sensor thing, and tripple checked the adjustment. > [quoted text clipped - 59 lines] >> > -- >> > Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
