Okey. Car's out of comission for the second time in 48 hours. Wednesday morning my car backfired through the intake and mangled my AFM. Had to get a replacement and was able to drive it around all day yesterday without problems.
Now, the car occasionally starts and has fuel starvation issues. I checked my individual wires to the injectors and they're good and connected. Fuel pump relay works, the potentiometer/wiper on the AFM is working and triggering the fuel pump properly. I'm confuzzled and don't know where to go next. Any advice i'll take. I had to leave the thing at my girlfriend's apartment and take the bus home :\ Oh, and I love this part of the Hayne's manual: QUOTE " At the time of compiling this Manual, no information was available regarding symptoms and remedies. In the event of fuel system faults which cannot be rectified by tightening or renewing hoses, or by carrying out the checks given in this chapter, the advice of a Porsche dealer should be sought. " <_<TIA |

possible ideas...
pump going out or bad connections at the dual-relay (mine would cut off over bumps and some corners until I cleaned all the terminals and bought a new relay), fuel filter clogged do you have a fuel pressure gauge, I'm guessing not, you can get one that will "T" in to the lines in the engine compartment, about $30 or so from the auto-parts store |
