No the parking brake is off, lol. Im from the Southeast, SC to be exact. I actually went through the vacuum hose setup while I had the top end off. I plan on going through the whole fuel system here shortly, I will keep these ideas in mind and work through them one by one. Im also going to recheck my mechanical timing just to be on the safe side. Maybe I got it one tooth off on the timing belt.

sorry...had to ask!

You may want to just get some bulbs and change out the other indicator lights...odds are there is another one that's supposed to be on but has a dead bulb. That would at least point you in a direction.

The cluster is easy to remove....and you do not need to pull the steering wheel.

Is the tach bouncing while cranking? If so I would shoot some starter fluid in the airbox to try and jump start it back to life.

Also forgot to mention change the fuel filter just as a precaution. After you do that take the fuel rail off and clean the injectors out by hand. I did this on my car and it ran pretty good after. That was on my old 924S. It was running on 1 cylinder barely after I did all that it started to run.

I did this procedure. Be careful but it will do wonders for the fuel injectors.

Well, I cleaned the injectors using the method that was on clarks, it is still flooding out horribly. Like to the point it soak the injectors and stalls within 30 seconds. It seems like something is causing the injectors to stay open all the time. Could this be the two sensors on the flywheel?

Could be the fpr. Or the injectors are bad.

well, when it does run before it floods out, the fuel pressure sits at around 29-30 without the engine going and around 40 IIRC when it is running. I just checked the injectors earlier today and they were functioning fine. From what I gather these injectors are batch fire, correct? So what is it that triggers the firing? I think I read somewhere that it was controlled by on of the sensors on the crankshaft on the top of the bellhousing but I dont have acces to my FSM at the moment.
