Someday the 944 will have its day in the sun. People are starting to finally come around to them 👍🏻

@@TwoDollarGararge EXACTLY! I’ve been loving your videos man keep them coming!

@@TheFinal-Samuria run through my channel I made a couple trouble shooting guides

Yes you are correct, there is a plastic notch that needs to be slotted at a bit of an angle first, then you connect the other side and should hear and audible *click* as the metal tab closes around the harness plug. The harness plug should seat fully into the DME socket. Make sure you’re plugging it in in the correct orientation and not upside down, the plug can only go in one way.

Thank you!!!! Glad you like it! 🤙🏻

@@Workerbee-zy5nx Trust me I hate it out here. This is the ONLY b road I know of in about an hour long circumference of where I live. No grass everything is just dirt and dead weeds. 130 degrees every summer. No rain longer than 5 minutes. Coldest it will get in December is 80 in the middle of the day. My choice would be SanDiego. lol

@@TakeFlightGarage 👍I heard that, too hot.

@@Themairmusic it’s not a precise equivalent, but it was derived from the 928 engine. So the 944 and 928 do not share engine components.

Definitely was not a fun experience, but the support I had from friends and family and the experience it led to getting a new car is what I lean on to keep going and hopefully use this experience to help others!

@@FunAhead_TV_Official Oh man in these cooler months there are some WILD cars that come out. Earlier this year someone brought a legitimate 904 out lol

@@TakeFlightGarage Wait, what??! That’s absolutely wild! Very cool! Our local C&C has supercars galore, but the Porsche representation is weak compared to that, and definitely no historical Porsches. I want to pop out to yall’s C&C sometime.

@@FunAhead_TV_Official absolutely do it I recommend coming in November or December if you do those are usually the best turnouts. If you wanna see more look up fourtillfour on instagram! Might be a fun excuse for another cross country Porsche road trip!

Cheers!

Thanks Chris! Unfortunately I won’t be there this weekend (the car is a long way away from being concours ready truth be told she had a hard summer lol) However, I will be up at 4till4 and then to Porsches and pancakes in Scottsdale on the second!

@@Workerbee-zy5nx glad it’s sorted!

@@TakeFlightGarage You bet bro. Air conditioning is next, and some miner PDR..👍🤠

@@czhu1729 Thank you for this!!

What’s your cold idle? I’d lean towards either a vacuum leak somewhere or that coolant temp sensor. Otherwise you might want to double check your idle is set correctly on the TB. Also might be worth making sure your throttle cable isn’t getting snagged or caught on something just in case.

I had a problem with my 86 NA, 900rpm cold then 1800/2000rpm at high temperature, the idle speed regulator/actuator was a weird brand.. Changed by a Bosch brand idle speed valve box second hand and no more problem today. The discount brand version should be of very poor quality or assembled upside down at the factory.. Check if your idle speed is correctly adjusted, air screw unscrewed by 1/2 turn or so it seems to me by shunting the connection to terminals B and C, check your vacuum lines and if no air intake by spraying brake cleaner here and there ;)

@@az_84_944 for your earlier car that’s normal ish. Maybe a tad low

Remember the early cars don’t have that more modern fuel map where they run super rich for a second until they warm up

@@TakeFlightGaragewould i be able to add an auxiliary air valve?

I have the same behavior on my '83; it has a 800 rpm cold idle and warms up to 950~1000 ish

@@az_84_944Nah I wouldn’t sweat that. Not necessary at all. If you run BPRES6 ngks and put premium in your idles will be happier. It’s been a while since I’ve lived with an early car, but if your car is with you while you’re at school up north and your getting those really cold morning temps then your idle sounds right to me again like only 100-150rpm lower than what I’d consider “normal.” Regular idle should be 850+\- 50rpm Could literally be that your DME and all the electronic components in it are just super old and not as efficient and that does over time make a difference in the cars performance.

I completely agree. Absolutely gorgeous shape, looks good in every color, and there are no bad angles.

The grind don’t stop 😭😂

@@ireiaand hopefully that’s all it is! Keep me posted once you know!

@@bobd9868 There are a few things that are out of place here to me, first off the way the temp switch light works is similar to how the thermo fan switch works, at a certain temperature it grounds the circuit to illuminate the warnings on the dash, but below that threshold the light should come off. So there does seem to be an issue at the very least with your coolant temp sensor or instrument cluster. Second of all unless you vacuum bleed the system I would never rule out a bleeding issue causing weirdness with your dash readings. These things are absolute PAINS to bleed properly. Not saying that is your issue, but I am saying you definitely shouldn’t rule it out. Now as for your cooling fan situation, here’s how my fans have always operated between both my 83 and my 86 NA stock fans and aftermarket fans. Above first mark, low speed fans both sides should come on. At or above the thin white mark at the top of the dash is when the high speed fans should kick on and bring the temp back down rather rapidly. Then the fans will continue to cycle. Check your thermo fan switch and make sure you didn’t plug it in upside down or anything so that it’s giving power the wrong direction. Also you might want to double check you’ve ordered the correct temperature range thermofan switch, if it is not paired with your thermostat properly it can cause issues and even cause the car to overheat because the fans are cooling the fluid in the radiator and the thermostat is not opening even though the block is at operating temp. I’d double check your gauge readings with IR temps to see if when the light comes on the head really is at 100c Lastly, I’ll recommend you to Clark’s garage for the fans trouble shooting, there could be something i am missing since your car is a turbo so I would verify with them as a source. I hope this helps at all and if you continue to have questions let me know

@@evanduncan25 I feel you but once your car is cleaned up and all ready to go and if it’s actually in decent condition then it’ll still be worth more than you have in it. Also Jesus 6 grand to get it running? Did you rebuild the entire engine? 6 grand is like a full Lindsey racing head build with solid lifters a cam exhaust and engine reseal worth of parts.

@@TakeFlightGarage it’s actually in pretty good condition with no rust at all other than on the muffler. It’s just having starting issues but other than that it’s good.

@@evanduncan25 I’ve been seeing a lot of people asking questions about no starts, as well as rough starts, rough running etc so I’ll try to put together a quick guide for diagnosing all that stuff soon when I get a chance

@@TakeFlightGarage sweet I appreciate all the helpful videos.

@@xoxo_dumbgirl2198 it’ll be a lot of work to get any 944 especially a turbo up and running, but once you catch them up on maintenance they can be extremely great and fun cars to daily. A turbo for that price if it’s not got any rust is definitely a car worth at least going to look at, but it will be a little more difficult/ expensive to bring back to life, but it is certainly doable. If you’re really new to cars and just want something to wrench on specifically to just dive in and learn, I recommend getting started with an 8 valve NA car. It won’t be fast but it will be a great way to get your feet wet with with learning how to wrench and because the NA isn’t as desirable as a turbo, for that same 7.5k you could probably get a really solid condition car depending on what area you’re in! If you want to see what a lot of the work is like I recommend you check out Edredas and nc944er here on KZbin, they both make excellent videos on showing what it’s like to work on these cars. Now if you are gonna start with a car and go ground up on it anyways and want something boosted then turbo all the way ;)

One other thing to mention though, if this is a car you want to go crazy with modifying, the turbo will give you waaaaay more opportunity to modify and make faster, where the NA is much more difficult to bump the performance on in which case if you’re gonna spend that amount you might as well go for the turbo to begin with. It all really depends on how you want to own the car, what you want to do with it, and most importantly how you intend to drive it

@TakeFlightGarage honestly, I mostly want to restore it, and have it be reliable if I wanna upgrade/boost performance somewhere along the way it'd be pretty nice to be able to do that down the road depending on the condition the one I'm currently eyeing is in of course 😅

@TakeFlightGarage I also appreciate how quickly and thoughtful your responses were btw very grateful to have come across this on my KZbin feed 🙏

@@xoxo_dumbgirl2198 turbos always complicate things because they add so much more heat to the equation snd that’s really what you have to deal with degraded plastics rubber hoses sensors all that kind of stuff gets added to the list of things to stay ontop of belts and clutch and ofc turbo. It just all boils down to what you can afford and how much time you have. I’d still go look at the turbo just so you can see one up close and maybe ask the owner some questions etc. as long as your up front about your intentions ususally 944 owners will be cool with helping out like that
