My 83’ porsche 944 will not always start...help!
Pearljaman31 25 April 2005 02:04:32
	I have a 1983 Porsche 944. Im having trouble every once in a while starting my car. Sometimes its perfect, no problems. But recently..it cranks but will not fire. I usually have to pump the gas and crank two times for it to start up. This is a recent problem. Also recently my car shorted for a moment while i was driving. The battery light came on for a second and the clock went back to blinking 12:00. My tape player also turns on and off intermintently. Something electronically is wrong. I know nothing about cars.

	Your electrical and mechanical problems might be related...maybe not: 1. Check that the ground strap on the battery is connected and solid without corrosion. Also, check the other end and make sure it's solid on the chassis. Wouldn't hurt to have the battery checked for a bad cell. 2. I cannot remember exactly which of the fuel injection system the '83 had...however, it seems like you've got a drop in residual pressure, that's supposed to provide enough gas for the engine to get started before new fuel comes up the line from the fuel pump. There is some sort of "check valve" that's supposed to keep the pressure up to a specified minimum. There is also usually a small canister...the accumulator, that is supposed to have a small amount of gas, under pressure, ready to go. If this were happening after warm-up...and then trying to restart after 10-15 min or so...I'd be absolutely sure that this was the problem. You'll probably need a mechanic to run a leak-down test on the system...using a set of Bosch test gauges, etc. It could also be that there's a problem with the temperature sensors...which are not alerting the ECT computer that the engine is cold and needs a richer mixture. Hope this helps.... "pearljaman31" <UseLinkToEmail@AutoForumz.com> wrote in message news:1_535415_bb0cb4d2275cbbe80af64d0fd8070946@autoforumz.com...>I have a 1983 Porsche 944.

Report > abuse: > > http://www.autoforumz.com/eform.php?p=535415 The car seems to start when its raining. Maybe because the car and engine is cool? I guess it has a problem when its been hot and sitting in a parking lot? It goes in and out from working fine to me cranking it 2 or 3 times.
