What do you mean by saying I should have a spare of the DME relay?

 

They tend to go bad now and again, and will leave you stranded. If you keep a spare one in the glovebox you can pop it in and go. It will cause a no start issue (car will crank, but will not fire up and run), worse when hot. They are about 25 bucks.

 

This happened to me the other day I turned off the car a few minutes later it would not start. I left it for about 2 hours and when I came back it started. It is crazy.

Thanks a lot for all the help.

 

Thanks guys worked on the Porsche this weekend. I have a couple of questions.

1. Where is the DME relay located (fuel pump relay)? Under the drivers seat?

2. Are the front fenders on the 1991 C2 removable? I need to get to the rust.

3. Is the windshield hard to remove?

4. The radio does not work it just displays 4 zeros. I have the code but when I try to input nothing happens.

Thanks,

Jay

 

1. Should be in your front fuse panel, passenger side rear part of the front trunk under the carpet.

2. Yes

3. Yes

4. Maybe the radio has been swapped and uses a different code? pull it out and get the serial number off the side and call your porsche dealer and they should be able to tell you the proper code.

 

How hard is it to get the fenders out? on a scale of 1 to 10. 10 being the most difficult.

Strange I have the original code and the radio is a Stuggart series Blaupunkt.

Thanks

 

Uh, maybe a 3-4. I can't judge your wrenching skills, and I have worked long on Porsche's professionally, so what might seem like a simple job to me probably seems like a mountain to others.

 

I agree I have never worked on Porsches but I have restored quite a few Morris/Austin Mini Cooper S'es from engine rebuilds to complete tear downs.
