I like it too, try Keiths idea about the script. I don't think Porsche would get too twisted about the crest, it's not like were making money off this.
James, sounds like the place to look is the connection for the fuel pump.
Yes, today is my daughter's birthday, so the party is Saturday. I'll be up early on Sunday to button up the car

I will be working all weekend. You're welcome to use the jack. It's just inside the garage door. Call the house before coming over. Kerry is tied up very early, but then should be around. She already knows it's OK. She'll be home after 10-10:30.
God, I cannot wait until this stuff at work is 100% caught up. You do what you've gotta do, but I've been doing that for two months straight and almost as much two months before that. I want my life back and I want to work on the race car again.

This is starting to sound very much like a relay to me. Why? Because turning the car off "resets" it. Anybody more electrical savy have an idea about this? I would think it would also tend to explain the problem with bumps.

Yeh I'm a baboon in the electrical dept.
I've swapped 2 different DME/Fuel pump relays and been all over the fuse blocks. Cleaned everything I could find. Replaced the coil, fuel rail, pressure regulator & damper, rotor. Visualy checked speed & reference sensors. Checked and re-cleaned grounds @ bell housing. Tapped (with rubber end of screwdriver) the DME module under the steering wheel while driving (no stall)
My current theory is a loose connection in the fuel pump power is somehow "breaking" for a split second, this send a signal to the DME that the fuel system is "off" and the DME shuts down the AFM and injectors. By turning off and back on it does "reset" the DME and allows it to start rght up.
Again, the symptoms when this happens is:
Hit a bump
Engine looses all RPM's and power (but continues to run)
Gas pedal has no effect on power or RPM's
10 - 15 seconds later, red "idiot lights" come on and engine dies.
Turn key off and then restart OK.
I really want to drive it over to the get together on Tuesday. Any ideas on which roads from Kingwood to downtown don't have any bumps![hiha](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/roflmao.gif)
AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!

Joyce and I will be there at 5:45 or so. We'll be in the war wagon (Isuzu Trooper) since the 951 was rather persnickety this morning and did not want to start. Left her in her room to think about it. Probably mad because I haven't paid any attention to her in several months. Women, what can I say!

I'm gonna be late. I've got a ship. I'll try to make it quick, trust me.
6:30 at the earliest before I'll get there. The dock I'm going to is at I10 and the east belt.

Since we seem to have trouble getting everyone together early, maybe we should try a later time frame. I'm game for an 8:00 or so evening. We could even make this a monthly deal where we meet every second Tuesday at a different location. We could alternate the "suburb" we meet in so everyone doesn't have to drive as far each time. The Rennlister who lives in the selected suburb of the month could choose the eating location and be responsible for getting us a table. Comments?
Or, we could meet at someones house for Monday night football, etc.... Pizza and a beer or two could make for a cheap evening where arrival time wasn't as critical.

Sorry I was so late. Did you discuss much about Oct 18? I can come north and link up with Kevin and James @ Kevin's. George would be travelling that way naturally given our destination, so maybe that's a good place to start off from?
Kevin, if you're going to be home Saturday, I've got the day relatively open. We can link up and I'll give you that cat.

Had a great time and the guys from my work were very impressed. Jared asked me about buying a 928 all the way back to Conroe. Probably wont make it monthly, but you are all welcome to come to my place if the mood strikes.
