hi everybody. just puchased a 1990 944 s2 cab with 82000 mi in april. triple black very sweet. my first post . call me crazy but ive gone all out freshening her up. to much to list. i can start the car without pushing in clutch pedal, is this normal? the reason i ask is my criuse is inop even after new ( refurbished ) servo , new combo switch, checked all solder joints in computer, perfect.
will post piks soon i hope, she runs like a champ and looks great .
thanks in advance for any ideas, btw im very good @ diy

hey thanks guru, just wasnt sure.
every manual trans car ive ever owned , had to push in clutch to start, thought maybe i was on to something.

Porsche engineers knew that the typical Porsche owner would be smart enough to not need that switch.

It doesn't stop me from hitting my starter while in gear once or twice a year.


Congrats on your purchase, and welcome to Rennlist! Please post some pics and introduce yourself in a thread when you can!

ok thanks guys im clear on that part. anyway just got out from under my dash and i have this switch looking deal with 2 brown wires coming from it, its mounted to a bracket and the clutch pedal hits it when up. is this cruise related? its similar to one on brake pedal. if so i might just replace it as it doesnt appear to " click" like one on brake . tried my manuals and clarks garage , cant find a thing. thanks for any help, this cruise thing has me stumped.

Yes that would be the cruise interrupt switch (or whatever it's called).
