2007 911 Carrera Won't Start
Ok so I filled the tank with premium gas from a local station and drove
home on Sat night. On Sunday I go out to my Porsche 911 it won't start.
-- New Battery within last 15days- should be rock solid
-- New Starter within last 15days -- should be rock solid
-- I am very new to Porsche 911 owner club -- my 1st one
Symptoms:
-- Cranks and wants to start:
-- I can flutter the gas pedal a little and bring the RPMs up briefly before it peters out....can't fight my way back to running.....
It seems like it's running out of gas (a guess on my part). After
reading around a bit.......
-- Bad DME Relay? Does a 2007's have DME Relay's going bad at all? It seems kinda early for one to fail? I don't mind buying one to have an
extra.....if I need one.....I read I could tap on the DME Relay and
maybe get it , it to start have not tried that yet.
-- Bad Gas? Been to this gas station many times with multiple cars
never had an issue......but there is always a 1st time..........I hate
to empty a full tank.......uggghhhh
-- Bad Fuel Pump? Where is the Fuel Pump on a 2007 911 Carrera?
I can see what looks like a circular access panel next to the battery
but that looks kinda sealed up to me........Is that the right location?
I could try listening to see if I can hear it pump -- but where do
I point my attention to to listen to the pump going? I think
I need a picture......anyone have one?
