My car is an '84 911 and I've had it for 3 years. This year it began to stumble at RPMs higher than 3,500. One day it simply quit during accelleration onto a highway, but after coasting off the highway it started and I drove it home just fine. Last week i was leaving a friend's house, going up a steep hill, and the car simply stopped running. The RPMs were at about 3500 when it died. It refused to start. After towing home I ran through the standard tests. Good spark, fuel pump ran when the fuse was jumpered, etc. I bought a DME relay from Pelican and installed it this afternoon. The car started right up but stumbled and died at idle. Thought it might be the old gas that I added at my friend's place (just to prove to my wife that the fuel gauge was not bad) so after starting it I drove toward a local filling station. I was going uphill and at about 3500 - 4000 RPM the car simply died once again. The tach went to zero even with the clutch engaged and turning the engine over as I slowed. So, another AAA call and the car is in my garage again. Any Ideas? I took apart the old DME relay and it looked just fine - no burned contacts or evidence of great heat. I'm at a loss but fear it might be the DME module. Is there a way to test the DME module or does one simply have to buy a new one or get one rebuilt? Is this something a Porsche dealer will do or is there an independent service that will test it for you? I live in Syracuse, NY.
