Just purchase a 83 944, sensor problem?
I just purchased a 944...It turns over but will not start...was told it has a senor problem....is this a common problem???...is there a sensor that fails more often on this car? I know the question is vague...but taking a shot

Agree with Ky944TurboNewbie
If you crank ---watch the tach gauge ---it has to bounce 1/16th of an inch as you crank.
If you see a bounce---usually the sensors are OK.
If you see the "bounce" -----and still no start-----the main DME computer may be bad.
