Thanks Tim, I did pull the air cleaner and pour a small amount of fuel in the intake. The engine started until it ran out of gas in the manifold. So, I believe I have a fuel delivery problem. I also, installed a new fuel injection relay thinking that may be the problem. No luck. Still won't start. Is there a way to verify if the "brain" is the culprit? Mike

Thanks for the info, I'll be out of town for a couple of days, but will check out the pressure, and hopefully find the fuel pressure spec. Thanks again, Mike

Thanks, I did make a mistake on the MY for the CIS the years should be 1977 - 1978 ! My goof. Should I check the pressure at the fuel pump or on the rails? How do I check the volume? Thanks again for your help. Mike

Wvicary, I've checked out the CIS Injector, and found that it was only produced on MY 1987-1988 928s. I still cannot get the engine to run. I haven't had time to check the camshaft timing. Would that be the next thing I should check? Mike

Thanks for the Info. I'll check my parts book to see if my 928 does have the CIS injection. I did add a few gallons of fuel after the engine backfired. But did not affect the starting problem. Thanks again, Mike

I have a 1982 – 928 Porsche. My wife and I took it for a leisurely tour around our neighborhood. I put the car in the garage and did not start it again for two or three weeks. The fuel level was low, but the fuel warning lamp was not on. The other day I needed to move the Porsche. When I tried to start it, after several seconds of cranking, I released the key, and the engine backfired. When I tried to start the engine again, it would start to fire, but would only fire while the ignition switch was in the start position. Once the switch was released, the engine would not run. I changed the fuel filer, and checked the operation of the fuel pump by jumping the fuel pump relay terminals. I also checked the spark plugs for excess fuel, but they were dry. Then I removed the distributor cap and found everything pretty clean. Since the engine tries to start (fire) when cranking, I assume it has spark. And since it does fire while cranking I again assume that it is getting some fuel. I wonder if when the engine first backfired, that perhaps the camshaft timing belt went out of time. Or back in the olden days, the same symptoms would show up if the ignition switch failed. Do you have any suggestions? Best Regards, Mike Rose (Old guy from Conroe, TX)
