Question 944 stalling and trouble starting

I'm having some problems with my 1983 944 stalling and also periodic starting troubles. The conditions are very simular to vapor lock. Can anyone provide any advice?

Thanks

Boxer ; need some info.
1 do you have spark , fuel.
2 if it starts ,does the engine race and then stall or does it just not start.
3 what have you checked out or done to try to fix it.
4 auto or 5 spd.
5 does it do this when at idle or while moving and then coming to a stop.

Cool

Try adding some some injector cleaner in your next tank fill up, maybe they are blocked up a bit and giving fuel starvation problems ?

Intermittant starting and stalls can often be traced to a faulty DME relay. By stalls, did you mean the engine cuts off during regular driving?
