3.2l conversion died on a ride, appears I have an electrical problem, success! Options

Took out the 914 and it just stopped cold during the drive. It appears the fuel pump is not running. I did tow it back and ran some rudimentary electrical tests (I'm not good at wiring). I get no power to the fuel pump. I then pulled the dme relay and I do get 12v on 30, 12v on 86, no voltage on 87 or 87b.

This is an 84 3.2l

thoughts?

Finally got back to this. Found reference video on testing ohms and voltage. Reference sensor reads fine, speed sensor appears dead. I also get no tach bounce when cranking.

That is a common failure for the 3.2 911 engine. The sensor is not hard to replace, but you will have to do it from underneath.

I would also suggest that you replace both sensors. That way you don't have to go back next week to replace the other one.

You should be able to just pull the sensors out of the mount and replace them. The sensor gap should be OK after the replacement.

Otherwise you have to pull the transmission to set the sensor gap.

Good Luck!
