Hmm have vague recollection about that "garage" seem to recall seeing him before on PCGB site
If I were you I'd ask the question he nearly sold me a dog why would I trust him not to sell me another
Have a look on Autotrader there are what looks like a couple of nice ones round about £5k and good thing about private sales you can talk to owner
Theres a nice red one @ just over 3K
And plenty folk on this forum to ask who may know the cars or be near it
Good luck

Ive followed 944s for sale for a couple of months now and know quite a lot that have been on a while. The `show car` will be, for want of better words a $hitter. That dealer has sold some garbage recently

hows that?
I rang about Another S2 tonight ( J77BOW, Red, 132000miles) anyone any ideas? I `ve already had 2 wasted journeys. Wear and tear and high miles I can handle but ringers and sheds, [&:]

This is my old car and I can vouch for it. http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/698036.htm
There's a thick folder with every invoice from day 1 and all MOTs. It even has the bag for the sunroof. I had it for 18 months and did 14k miles driving 300 miles to Norwich and back once a week, and it never missed a beat. Fully serviced by Autowerke Norwich 2 months ago, and the REAL mileage is 115k!
I'm selling it because in a moment of weakness I bought a 993. Wife still not recovered from the shock [

There's a hint of rust just appearing on the sills and a tear in the driver's side seat bolster, but apart from that it's perfect. Believe you can still get the Porsche logo cloth to re-cover the bolster (can anyone confirm this?), but was too busy driving it to get it done.

Have to look at all usual stuff to see if has been looked after, belts etc. Check for rust in usual S2 areas.Check out Pistonheads few on there like this with fewer miles on http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1056089.htm and http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1028441.htm A lot of cars up for sale at moment so good time to buy.
Have to agree nice looking cars

Would the Idle Air Control Valve be sticking perhaps... ? It gunges up with gunk and sticks. I think it is under the manifold .. Take it off and soak both ports with carb cleaner and leave overnight to eat up the gunk.. Clean out with a compressed air line and refit....!
I dont have experience of this myself but my old 2ltr Cav would do this on a regular basis... !
As said above an S2 expert will be along soon....[]

Arent HT leads and related components supposed to be prime for that ?
Also I think my cars idle went dicky when I needed a new MAF , the car ran superbly after the recon MAF was fitted.
I'm sure the real experts will be along soon
Regards Mas
Its an AFM not a MAF [

Hi jason
sounds like your car has quite a common problem due to lack of regular use. You don't say how long ?
There are so many things on our cars that are over 20 years old and have never been serviced ,repaired or replaced that it is a miracle that they work at all really.
i would start by making sure that there is plenty of fuel in the tank. if it was last run nearly empty its highly likely that the pump will struggle to prime the fuel system properly and build up sufficient pressure to operate the injectors unless it has some help from a good head of fuel in the tank. Both of the two times this has happened to my car were started by running the tank empty then leaving it for a few weeks unused.!
next I would systematically clean all the important connector contacts especially the injector connectors, the crank/speed sensor connector, Low and high tension connections including the ignition amplifier.
It would be useful to clean some of your earths especially the two ECU earth points under the dash near the fuse box.
You might try starting and running the car with a 3x way DME relay bypass in place of the DME relay. if you've not run the car for a bit the relay switch pivots could be sticky and the contacts oxidised. The 3x way bypass will eliniminate the DME relay being the cause.
lastly you may have to have your injectors cleaned and tested but first check the fuel pressure and the fuel pressure leak-down rate to make sure you haven't got a problem with low fuel pressure due to a faulty FPR valve FPD Damper valve or the non return valve in the fuel pump.
Whatever you do do not replace your fuel pump as they are very rarely at fault but its the first thing garages tend to replace becsause they don't make any money testing your pump.[]

Thanks Peanut, will look into it.

good luck . My 2x experiences would suggest it is likely to be low fuel pressure . You can get a throw-away fuel pressure guage on ebay for £10-15.00
There are lots of threads on the forum about testing the fuel delivery system .
if its not starting, give it a good crank for 20 seconds or so and check that you have fuel on the plugs and if you are getting a spark .
That should help direct you to the likely cause.
