Help! 944 Wont Start!
 

Just got an 85 944. Was sitting in some guys yard and he finally got it running and sold it to me. Ran fine for a few days and now it just wont start. If I leave it sit a while, it will almost start up again but then after the first attempt it becomes useless to try.I went and bought a new battery just hoping that it would solve the problem. New spark plugs and the starter sounds alright. I just went to the guys house that I bought it from and asked what he thought it may be. He said that it ran out of gas right before he gave it to me and he put just about 1 gallon of gas in and "to be safe" a full bottle of fuel injector cleaner stuff. Could this have caused a problem? I called a local autoparts store and asked them and they just said tap on the fuel pump and maybe its just clogged up but still no luck. Any tips or suggestions?

Check your speed and reference sensors along with the DME relay.

You might want to replace your fuel filter also, the injector cleaner probably losened all the crud in the fuel tank.
