no doubt

Don't start out by replacing parts. Instead, start out by testing. The *first* test to do is to spray 3 seconds worth of a $2 can of starter fluid into the air intake.

Does the motor start up with the starter fluid?
Does the motor start up and then die when the starter fluid runs out?
Does the motor still not start?


Answer those 3 questions and I can get your car fixed in moments...something that would be entirely random and lucky if you instead spend hours replacing various parts first without testing.

Hey Blithe the CPS unplug right by the maf just trace the wiring and disconnect it.The old connector might fall apart .When i changed mine did not remove fuel rail or fuel damper-just the maf out.

Where do you find the cps 944 606 115 00 for $58?

The earlier condition was no spark, hence the replace the cps idea. Now it starts and can be kept running by pressing on the throttle, so no point in starting fluid.

My guess is that now it just needs the usual freshening up, vacuum leaks, idle stabilizer valve, maybe a shot of Dr Bob's new cleaner rig, cleaning grounds, changing fluids, the usual.

BMW's of the era use the same sensor as the 944 (don't know about the 928 specifically). It is part number BOSCH 0261210003. It can be found at Pelican, Paragon, Autohausaz or your local auto parts store. The range in price is from 46-70 bux. I believe they are slightly longer than the Porsche counterpart. All of the 944 guys buy them. Here is the Bosch parts cross reference site: http://ecat-online.bosch.de/toc/frame1.html

BOSCH 0261210003 seems to be the OEM Porsche part, and slightly cheaper versions with longer cords for BMW etc are BOSCH 0261210002 and BOSCH 0261210001.

928 and 944 seem to use the same part 944 606 115 00.

Any similar leads for ISV? I don't recall the details of which version Autozone had cheap.

no doubt

Autozone has the cheapest Porsche 928 ISV price, but the catch is that Autozone varies the price based on your zip code.

35210 will get you a cheap ISV.

Says $140 on the ISV for a Duralast, looks funny to me.

OTOH now that the car is running, the point isn't to restore it to like new condition, its to sell it. See how that Cherry Red paint polishes out, clean it up, fix the obvious vacuum leaks etc. and leave some fun for the new owner.

You are right, but you get the idea. Sorry, for copying the wrong number.
