Are you still running the 0W30 weight oil in that beauty??
From the most recent M1 thread...just an FYI my friend
...NOTE 2 (Doug Hillary)
No M1 product that has API's SM Quality rating and the "Energy Conserving" symbol and/or has ILSAC's GF-4 Approval is suitable for use in a 993
No M1 SAE30 (0w-30, 5w-30, 10w-30) viscosity lubricant is suitable for use in a 993
No SAE30 (0w-30, 5w-30, 10w-30) lubricant of any Brand has been Approved for use in a Porsche 993 engine since MY99. SAE30 lubricants typically fail the Porsche extended viscosity (@100C) and HTHS viscosity (@150C) and maybe "air in oil" test protocols...

This was flushed, filters changed, and car filled with Unil Opal 5W-40 A3 SL etc.
BTW, there is a repuitable SM oil here, and on their site they openly advise people NOT to use their oil for engines built prior to the millenium.
Thank you all for the encouragements.

spraying out...regulator new..
Thank you Steve, I thought "maybe" there was a relay or fuse somewhere between the ignition switch and
the dual coils, but looks like there is none. So since one hour, I measured the ohms going out of the wiring harness to
the coils, the big black wires feed the 12 volts to the coils, and both were functioning.
The other small yellow and green wires, one was reading 124 mvolts with contact on, the other was reading zero.
So I do not know if there is a risk, but I took a wire from the good yellow wire and hooked it to the second coil.
Normally since the load importance is after the coils, I think there should be no problem, any thoughts?

with speed, the ignition switch unit increases its charge to shorten its spark time in milliseconds,
and this will burn the switch.
