the 80s ignition circuits have lasted much longer than they should have....
but no less than what you'd expect with your average 20 year old laptop,
oops, you're cars with their ancient wiring are pushing past 30....
exposed to heat cycling, salt, frost, dirt, corrosives, grease, etc.....
my dear friends; your 924s/944s are fried.
don't stray too far from the house......
here's a reality check....
why not just take your car to the dealer and say,
"here's my 944. it runs like ****. please fix it, and call me when it's ready."
as in, Jesus, they're the ******** who built it.

Hi Austin..
Sorry for your ongoing start issues man..
And paying for an "Experienced Porsche Technician" to change out your thermal switch because "your water pump isn't turning"
is a far worse injury than Odurandina's desire to spare you/us from another decade of fried electrical connection problems..
I often read his posts as good natured ribbing/tongue-in-cheek counterpoints suggesting that as our Porsche/Bosch engine systems
reach their end-of-life, we might at least "consider" newer engine technologies to go another 25 years...
Our Porsches have one of the best chassis dynamics ever so breathing new life into them makes sense; if pockets are deep enough.
For me though, I'd prefer keeping mine "All Porsche"...
That said, considering newer non-M44 solutions is indeed relevent to most any powerplant failure thread.
Questions:
Is your Ignition Coil new?
Have you replaced that Speed Ref Sensor yet? (the gorilla taped one)
Best wishes for your issues..

PS: I also noticed this youtube which explains a few tests that can be performed in diagnosis mode.
