Bob,
I appreciate the concern, this is not housing wire. I have at least 100' of that as well.

I'm not sure why I purchased this spool. Must have been on sale. It might be 12 gauge now that I think about it.

after some 18 years of 928 ownership, I've only heard of the blue hose of death. Now the green wire. Damn, now that I know about it....

Now that you know, the next time you are 50 miles away from anything, it will fail.

Sorry to be stupid but, "Blue hose of death"?

hacker-pschorr

Blue hose = goes from the brake fluid reservoir to the clutch master cylinder. Not the easiest hose to replace, rots and falls off dumping your brake fluid and leaving you with a limp clutch.

Other using the power bleeder have blown the hose off by pumping up the power bleeder up too high.

I solved the second issue by clamping on the blue hose, factory did not.

Gotcha. Dumping brake fluid on hot headers...bad.

Hi John,

Did you ever make any of these? Would a defective Green Wire cause a no start condition? I have fuel to my plugs and spark, which I removed a spark plug and put it against the hoisting eye and got spark as I jumped the starter from the harness. I do have a part of the wire showing its shielded wire are, but doesn't seem to be touching the center wire. I would be interested in just replacing it for a reasonable price.

A defective green wire CAN cause a no start, but it would most likely yield no spark as well. About 5 years ago, I had some really odd symptoms where the car would just die out of the blue and not start, then a few hours or so later (depending on when I decided to try) it would start up. Turns out that when I was finishing the timing belt job I had pinched the green wire between the block and the fan bracket.

No problem got a new one, installed it, and the car started but ran like the timing was way off. I spliced my old green wire reinstalled it and everything was fine. Hmm I said, and compared the continuity of the old and new green wires and viola...the connectors were wired with opposite polarity.

Hi Mitch! I also noticed where the shielded wire is showing the inner insulation seems be crushed too. I am wondering if I just splice it and redo it, I can at least find out if this is my problem before I buy a new one. I would hate to buy a new one, only to find out it was something else causing my no start.

I did supply a couple to Roger at 928sRus but the problem is finding undamaged connectors at the distributor end. They are usually embrittled by the heat and fall apart when try to be re-used.

I tested John's green wire prototype in my 81s & it worked fine
