The plug wires may have 5k as well as the plugs. However the vacuum lines are old, I assume original...no records from the PO.
and recently I bought a kit from 928 Motorsports which I have not installed.
Most of my driving is to and from LA either on 101 or 5. I think I made 6 trips this year.
It sounds like time to do an R/R on the intake.
I take mine to my Porsche Indy to pass smog. He charges me a very small amount to get the car to pass smog test. I remember him showing me he takes the AFM apart and clocks something just a little. But It could be he does this for another reason perhaps. I know there is a strip in there that gets worn and you need to move it a tad to work correctly.
Does this sound right to anyone here for smog testing reasons?
Yup. You can get almost any AFM car to pass smog. If it is running rich, tighten the barn door spring one or two clicks. It helps if you have a smog station that will let you do a test run and dial it in while on the dyno/sniffer. I have done this/seen it done many times.
I wold reroute the o2 sensor wiring straight up through the shield. One day it will melt and short out. On 87+ that means the fuel pump fuse blows. Looks great otherwise!
OK
Please explain the barn door spring. Sorry for being a bit dense on this one
Owning a 928 is like yoga, you are always a student....
There is a plastic cover on the side of the AFM, when you remove it it exposes the internal "wiper" assembly. How fast the "barn door" opens is determined by the spring tension on the wiper, it is adjusted in "clicks"....you can adjust it on the car put need a REALLY long screwdriver and the AFM must be turned in a certain direction to work (down is not good)
I did this on my L jet estate and Seans Euro racer...works pretty well
Aha the joys of living in Australia, no smog checks! I ripped off my cats, got it running straight through 2 resonators and a centre muffler then blasts out the back.
