This reminds me that I've noticed that I get more people pulling out in front of me in my Porsche than anything else I've ever driven, including motorcycles!
Has anyone else noticed this?

I'm trying to source an ECM for my 87' 924S Auto. P/N 944.618.121.04

Apparently this is made of unobtainium because I can't find the proper match anywhere. I'm seeing listings as "924S 83 - 8 ...

Lord Fester,

Have you done any diagnostics to the car? When it cranks does the tack move? From your description I am guessing that you may have a bad or out of adjustment speed and reference se ...

As a commuter the auto is fine. I also got a deal on my auto, but the it's the damn ECM that's conked out. I can't trust it to start on a reliablel basis.

What can be done to alleviate? And once do ...

Why not just convert the 924 to a manual trans... as it will be a lot more fun to drive. Save the V8 for the american beast it belongs to

No change in the feel.

BUT NOW....

..... the car is at a local Porsche mechanic. ( I give up!) The ignition started failing yet again. It would fire once when starting, then die. No spark from ...

No sticking, just very stiff as you'd expect when the pump is not running.

Ah!
Then I'll cap it post-haste. Thanks yet again.

That's just it. It IS numb until the wheel turns. Almost like it's stuck in the center position and has to work through a notch.

I'm running an '87 VW without power steering that has more feedback ...

I turns easy enough, but it requires a bit of force to initiate the turn. No noise from the pump.

Sound like normal operation? Do I need a new pump? The belt isn't slipping.

So now I'm up and running. Thanks again Paul!

I've got a tube coming up into the engine compartment from the catalytic converter. It's presently making a hell of a hot spot on my hood, as well as a ...
