My thoughts exactly. The "K-Lead" and "W-Lead" are wires maybe? Also, it has aftermarket non-Porsche radio. There are two amps in the floor of the trunk under the removable "floor board". Lots of wires, while they look to be connected and routed ok, it just doesn't look professional. Think I'll pop the radio/AV unit out and look at the wiring behind that. It's a Pioneer AVIC NAV unit and see how the wiring comes from the amps. Thanks for all the help and ideas. :renntech: Fuel system next!

Thanks Loren! Worth checking out, it seems to just stop the engine any time.

Playing with the Durametric today in the driveway. Letting car warm up checking out some "actual values", boom quits running. went to ECU faults and had 1: moduleType = MotronicDME78 DTC Count = 1 Fault Number:P1571 Description:Porsche fault code 39 - Immobilizer Same symptom as other shut-offs. Engine just quits and all the dash lights come on. My alarm also has the "one honk" when locking with key button. Got 4 faults in "alarm module" which will not clear, erase faults is grayed out in the alarm module menu. 9X6 Alarm Selected About to get fault codes moduleType = AlarmI32 DTC Count = 4 Fault Number:21 Description:W lead (DME immobilizer) Repair Infomation: Repair Infomation:Status: not present Repair Infomation:Frequency counter: 1 DTC Count = 4 Fault Number:49 Description:K lead Repair Infomation: Repair Infomation:Status: not present Repair Infomation:Frequency counter: 4 DTC Count = 4 Fault Number:60 Description:Central locking limit position Repair Infomation:Lock not reached Repair Infomation:Status: not present Repair Infomation:Frequency counter: 1 DTC Count = 4 Fault Number:33 Description:Interior sensor faulty Repair Infomation: Repair Infomation:Status: not present Repair Infomation:Frequency counter: 1 Think any of these alarm faults could be causing the immobilizer to shut the car off? Especially the W-lead and the K-lead which sound like part of the immobilizer. Thanks, Steve

Caution Thread Resurection: Any resolution to this? My 2001 has done this twice in the last couple weeks, have had car for 2 months. First time was city driving, had drove a couple miles taking it easy to warm up. 4th gear downshifting into 3rd coming up on railroad tracks, car stalls with all the dash lights lit up. Turned key and it started right back up. Second time fully warmed up, funny almost same place coming from opposite direction. Just cleared railroad tracks and was accerating away going through the gears, hitting about .7 bar at upshifts. Hit 5th and it just dies. Started right up with a turn of the key. Researched here and on 6Speed, came to conclusion it was most likely plugs, coils, or both. Bought a Durametric and logged missfires for a couple days, nada, nothing not a single one. Only faults that show is clutch switch and a spoiler fault, sure they are old as clutch switch seems to work ok and the spoiler operates fine. Since I've heard fuel mentioned multiple times think I will try and log fuel pressure or another fuel parameter with the Durametric. It hasn't happened in over a week but am a little gun shy. Thanks, Steve
