Default Feel left out

My car has not been starting, So I did my research all week on the forums for problems related to..., Found the DME stuff and Fuel relay and so on..... I narrowed it down to the Stock or factory alarm. I found a Post with instructions to clarks garage on bypassing it. Car worked. Luckily my friend had some on the shelf at the porsche shop and gave me one. Put in last night and fired right up. So I want to thank the site for working very well.

I just feel left out since I have nothing to post about,,,, all my problems I have fixed by just doing some research. So thanks all. LOL...

Dude.... You got to have some really big 2alls to take a risk like that!!!!
I was bragging on how my 951 had close to 10K in maint done to it and that a really good shop PPI'd it.... then....

Broken motor mounts, half shafts, strange creak pop comming from underneath, Boosting 20 PSI when all I did was install a boost enhancer and chips, Temp gauge started going flakey and my passenger side rear was squatted down about an inch lower than the drivers side.

Then I said "Got it all fixed, it didn't cost much so I purchased a red 944S to fix up for my girlfriend"....
Now I am broke, had to sell both my 944S'. The girlfriend is trying to dump me and the car is idling rough and I have a AC belt squeeling.... (less than 3K after it was replaced) LOL....

Don't tempt those gods!!!

Sounds like a country & western song to me, can you sing it to the tune of 'Stand By Your Man'.

On my S2 I lost fuel. The alarm module kills the DME relay and doesn't allow the fuel pump to work.

On my 951, the car would start and drive a few yards and then the alarm would go off and the car would stall.

New alarm module solved both problems. It can be bypassed, though. See the procedure in Clarks Garage.

If you have nothing to say, OT is exactly the place to say it!

Unfortunately some folks still find a way to say the same thing here on this forum as well.
