Hello all. I've been looking for a 944 for over a year and finally got a '86 turbo this week. Really nice car, fell in love at the first test-drive!
Now, as much as i love her, she's not perfect. I've ordered myself CD copy of the factory manuals. But here are something that I am looking for clues to, will appreciate a lot of any inputs:
- Idling....sometimes it's ~1100 RPM, sometimes would go up to 2000 RPM. Happens even when fully warmed up. What's going on?
- Boost gauge not working. Prev owner had no idea why...
- Parking brake is not holding the car
Please advise. Thanks!

the idling could be your TPS
get an after market boost gauge installed (looks cool too ;-))

Yeah - check the throttle at the throttle body, when going from 0 throttle to a little or back to 0 - moving the throttle cam with your hand, you should be able to hear a faint 'click'. if not, its probably adjusted improperly. I believe there is a thing at
www.clarks-garage.com that will show you how to adjust it.

The jumpy idle is usually a sign of an intake leak somewhere after the throttle body. Check all the vacuum hoses and the larger intake-hoses that go to the idle-stablizer and vacuum venturi under the intake manifold.
What does the boost-guage show? Just 1.0-bar? Check the clear vacuum line between the #3 & #4 intake-manifold runners. The hose could be broken or leaking, which would cause your erratic idle.
Pull back the carpeting behind the parking-brake handle. You'll see an adjustment for the cable. Tighten up the cable (pull more of it through).
