nope no luck yet i havnt had the money to buy new sensors but im looking yet. Yeah i tried that but when i do that i dont get ne spark at all. The bottom of one of the sensors looks like it got hit by the pin and scrapped the bottom pretty badly. I saw a pic of some one on here that had that happen and thats exactly what happened to mine. so im hoping thats it. It just seems like the spark is off or something. Hopefully some one has a good workin extra one for cheap so i can enjoy my porsche again.

You don't need new ones. Look at your cable ends, if they are good where they meet up with the harness you are golden, you just need the sensors.

You should be able to find a pair for $25 if they are busted up and splice them in. Just make sure that you have the cable length measured out and try to keep it as close to factory length as you can.

I guess I need to add you to the list of locals as well.

MY GOD......your still screwing around with this?

Sensors can be bought from ANY recycler, ebay, classified here on rennlist, pelican, ect., ect.

Have you REALLY gone thru the resources at Clark's garage.........fully, completely.......logically? If so, you should already have all the answers. No offense meant here, just, if your gonna play, ya gotta "play and pay", .......ya know. You can lead a horse to water, but ya can't make him drink. Ever hear that one? Start drinking.

My car had the EXACT SAME symptoms of yours and it was a bad alarm module. If the alarm module goes bad (in my case mine got wet and shorted out) you will never get that car started no matter what yo do until you PROPERLY bypass it

ELECT-23 ALARM SYSTEM BYPASSING in the garage shop[ manual section. Try this and report back

it take like 5 minutes to do.

Goodluck

Yeah i tried the alarm bypass twice now and still nothing. Yes i am still messin with this i think i found the problem tho with the sensors i took them out and it looks like one of them got hit on the bottom and messed it up. and yes i have checked everything even goin as far as swapping most part with new ones but still nothing. the only things i havnt done are the sensors. yeah i have found many places that sell them its just money right now. no job (due to car) fines (120mph in a 55mph) and just no motivation now that winter is arriving here in the northeast. i love the car for summer cant really drive it to much in the winter with snow. Right now i have the whole dash apart and some of the fusebox alot of electrical problems. heater wont work and wipers blow fuse and melted the wires? this is a real love hate relationship. looking at buying another 944 or looking for a good cheap 951 (dream car).

Does the Tachometer twitch when cranking the car ? If so and you have spark fuel and compression that thing should run. Recheck your plug wires and make sure they are going to the right places, Check for major vacuum leaks and test the air flow meter

ILOVEMY944

yeah the tack jumps when trying to crank the car. good compression accross all cylinders. 170-175. yeah they r all going to the right places. good vacuum, i have a boost gause wit vacuum on it. i tested the air flow meter and it came out to the specs? but could it still possibly be bad? thanks

PM me I probably have some sensors off of a parts car.

Charlie

The picture is blurred or my vision is getting worse, what is wrong with the sensor? Is that a piece missing on the bottom?

Granite 944

Possibly. Have ya TESTED it yet? LOOKS, can be decieving.

My thoughts exactly. I mentioned the sensors ages ago and pinned the problem on them, now I'd like to see them replaced and see what the car does.
