What have I done to offend the gods?
After reading some of the posts about their 911's not starting I thought.....that will never happen to me..... I don't work on it.
It's only when I touch wrench to a car do they stop running.
I had a fellow coming over to take a look at my beauty for sale.
Guess what?
I just ordered two DMEs and two fuel relays. I like two of everything.
I called the guy and asked if we could have a redo.
I hope one of the relays is the problem.
Damn

The latest is I just recieved my DME relay, it didn't help. I also changed out the fuel relay. It still will not start..........darn it. The old DME states 15amp. The new one is 30amp. I will call the supplier and see whats up.
I will next check the fuel pump, to see if it is pumping. I suspect when I remove the plate covering the pump, I should, with the ignition on, be able to feel it vibrating. Is this correct? I am not mechanicly inclined.

WHATEVER YOU DO - MAKE SURE THAT THE CAR IS PROPERLY SUPPORTED ON A LEVEL FLOOR, AND IF THE REAR WHEELS ARE DOWN MAKE DARNED SURE THAT THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL!!!

Neri: "Doesn't the engine have to be cranking to for the fuel pump to engage?"
EDIT BY AUTHOR:
I originally wrote:
"Nope. Not on an SC (or other CIS cars). You just turn the key to "ON" and the fuel pump comes on. Audible whining noise.
Does this not happen with a Motronic car? Peter?"
I have ben corrected. The whining apparently is the ignition module. The fuel pump does not engage until the starter is cranking."

The thought was to prevent pumping gallons of raw fuel out of a torn-open gas line. The system functions via a sensor plate/housing switch on CIS cars (including Turbos), and is handled through the electronics on 3.2 liter cars.
Over many years at the shop I saw some 911s that had been in horrific accidents (unfortunately some involved fatalities), and I can not recall a single car that caught on fire because of an accident. Pretty remarkable.
If your pump runs with the ignition on, I strongly urge you to diagnose the system and correct any problems!

I haven't started yet
I was reading on the Pelican website tech section, where I can jumper from number 6 fuse and touch #5 or #7, on the bottom of the fuse terminal and it will bypass the safety and make the fuel pump run. Anyone done this and is there a downside?
