My mate, phil965, has his 1991 3.3 in the garage with a fault (rough running). The mechanic has tracked the issue to a "ignition control module" which needs replacing.

He isolated it by swapping another unit from another 965 in at the time, and the fault was solved.

He says the part is no longer made by Porsche.

Apparently they can't find anyone to repair the old unit either, and a search for secondhand has been fruitless so far.

Finally, the garage says the unit is different for the 3.6 (which Porsche still make for £2000!) and it won't work in the 3.3.

Other than sell the car for scrap (joking?) or install a 3.6 engine, does anyone have any useful info or ideas on where to get one?

Here's hoping you can help....

 

i've got one spare, drop me a pm if you're interested.

Jim

 

Sorry forget that, I sold it !

Best of luck finding one.

 

That's right Jim, just wind him in!! How's your build going?


Sorry Mark

 

er..... EFI conversion? :-)

 

Hi Mark,

Sorry to hear about this, makes me worried what I'll do if I have problems with mine. Has he tried any of the US or German suppliers/breakers?

It's looking increasingly likely that I'll be the only one turning up in a Porsche on the 7th!

Cheers,

Tim.

 

I've got two of the CDI boxes for a 930, one is new. Are they the same?

 

Thanks all for your suggestions so far - except for Anthony ;-)

Phil will get the exact part number, and also check if the 930 unit is any good. There are a couple of other breakers to phone round. Will keep you posted.

 

I've got a spare 3.6 box but no 3.3.

 

Give Freisinger a ring, he has some old used parts in stock for our cars.

Good luck!

 

I have an EZ 69 from a 92 3.3
PM me

Freisinger, no luck;
Thanks Eliot, may need to come back to you.
The latest is, the unit has been sent away to see if it can be fixed.
Best wishes all,
Mark

 

I hope that you get it fixed Mark, good luck with that

 

are you still needing the ignition contol module...

 

Vincent, should know over next few days. Thanks.
