Got a fluke?

Unplug it. Put a jumper in for the ground leed. Use Fluke to jump the + lead. Have some one put car in run position.

If the fluke is on Amps. Viola.

Fuse on early 944's is 16 amps. Also provide current to the heating element in the idle valve.

Fuse 0n later 944's is 15 amps.

Actual constant draw should be less. I have a spare fuel pump in the garage. I'll check it's placard to see if it has a value for full load amps.
