My husband and I recently acquired a Porsche 924s, she has had a recent mini service and some rewiring done and was running fab until the 30th October, then we went away on holiday, upon our return some 14 days later, she refused to start. We called the RAC out and they charged her battery, checked sparks etc...sprayed some stuff over her and she started, took her for a run and this is where the problems started

she started chugging, her exhaust sounds awful and there is one hell of a noise under the bonnet, she sounds ill, anyone got any ideas, as there was no problem with her prior to us going away.

thanks
 
What year is your car? 2 litre or 2.5 engine? If I can use my car as an example; this is all easy stuff: Change the earth lead, the exsisting one may not be working. Check the rubber air hoses under the bonnet to see if they are all connected. Remove the distributor cap and check all is clean inside, check the rotor arm for condition and that all leads are in place. There are many, many other things to check so give us more information when and how the car behaves so we can get more specific in diagnosis. It can be so simple sometimes!
 
Id check the fuel filter first. Its a 924S according to the thread title: so essentially a series one 944.
