The S2 would not start last night. Had it towed home - checked DME relay and all fuses. Thumped floor by DME. No luck.

Fab'd DME relay jumper - fuel pumps runs - car still wouldn't start - cranks strongly.

Put timing light on coil - no signal.

So - prolly coil or ignition module - neither of which I have lying about.

Have car towed to GTi Tuning at Lawrence and Warden.

A few hours later - Jasper calls me - he's tested for signal and ground at the IM and they are good (meaning DME is good and DME relay is good) so it's gotta be the IM. Orders part.

2 houirs after that - get a call from Jasper - car is runnung fine. Also sourced and installed cooling fan thermo switch which had failed - said I could pick up car anytime - he was going to be there till 8:30! (on a Friday nigth)

Went and got car - all parts and labour - less than $300. Less than 24 hours later - I'm back on the road and a happy camper - esp since I have my car for the weekend.

It's a rough looking shop - but Jasper's knowledge of 944's seems strong - he's a super friendly guy and his rates seem great.

So far so good - I'd recommend him...

glad you liked GTi TUning. his shop is obscured and it even looked rundown even for any car shop let alone Porsches! TOo bad he's so far from where I am.

And that's his biggest appeal for me - MINUTES away. Well, aside from his apparent skill and good prices. But yeah - the place looks like a wreck. Guess it's a case of not judging a book by it's cover. I know another shop that's a mess that does awesome work at very resonable prices. Maybe cleanliness has a cost? : )

Thanks, Delhi - for turning me onto GTi.
