Sir, you are most generous to take the time to create these videos. They are informative and very well done. The 944 community certainly appreciates you sharing them. I have owned an 86 NA since 2002 and have learned a lot from you. Thanks!
🤣 It’s funny how a love for automobiles can make us feel like kids sometimes. When I first got my 944, a solid month went by before I could actually walk past the window and not stop to look at the car sitting out in the driveway. 🤪
@NC944er My first car was my 944 and anytime I see a video pop up I tell my mom because your videos got my car to run after 2 months of not working. I love what you do, thank you 😁
Nice video. I had the "pleasure" last year replacing the AOS seals when hunting for a vaccum leak. This experience allowed me to perform a deep clean to areas that have not been touched since the car was built. Take care!
@@NC944er that top seal is the one I´m worried about finding the correct size. I would really appreciate a seal, I´d be happy to pay for the mailing since I live in Belgium.
Are you saying that the hood on the car won't open? The hood release lever to the left of the driver's side footwell uses a cable system to actuate the latch, so you won't need a battery. It's not uncommon for the lever to break or the cable to become detached. If there is no resistance on the lever, you can pull back the carpeting in that area and see if you can find the end of the cable and pull on it with some pliers. If you can't find anything there, you can also go up under the front of the car and reach up with with a pair of needle-nose pliers and pull the cable to release the latch.
@@NC944er for me it is a button but maybe I’ m wrong after all I don’t know a lot about this car thank for responding . Maybe checking from what year the car is from because mine is a little bit different than yours , maybe yours doesn’t need a battery but does ? I’m gonna check tomorrow
Hey man, congrats! Check out these links below for info on the wiring... Engine Bay Wiring Harness Overview - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sbf8hokWQOo.html Engine Bay Ground Connections - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EqHBq_-wCTo.html
HI again.....would doing this job allow better access to the speed and ref sensors....tried to get them out but there is no movement on them at all. Thanks
Oh yeah! Removing the intake manifold and AOS unit will basically give you direct access to the crank sensors. And, it will also provide a great opportunity to check/replace vacuum lines. 👍🏼
Wow, well that would certainly explain a leak there. 😂 Yeah, both the early and late versions featured an o-ring at the top, and they can be a pain to remove carefully. You should see a slight step-down or groove around the top edge where the o-ring would sit. I have seen people forgo a replacement o-ring and just RTV the heck out of the top lid connection to seal it back up. Maybe someone was in there before? Also, Tim from CRE has an informative look at the AOS that’s worth checking out for more details - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0WxojRGJLAk.html
Hello NC944er. My name is Marco and I am writing to you from Spain. Could you tell me where I can get the plastic cover for the injector rail? (I mean that plastic cover that covers the square metal tube that carries gasoline to the injectors). My thanks in advance. A greeting from Spain. Marco
Hello Marco! I need to come visit your country one day. 😂 What is the model year of your car? The design of plastic cover for the fuel rail changed from the early to the later cars, so they will have different part numbers. Most of the covers are no longer in production by Porsche, but you can often find used covers on eBay or from salvage auto vendors.
@@NC944er Hello NC944er, my Porsche is the 2.5 from the year 1987. From your videos, I see that the injection rail is the same as yours. I have searched on various internet sites and have not found it. Where do you live ? Tell you that since I met you very recently, I have seen many of your videos and you are an AUTHENTIC CRACK. I love your videos and it is a great help for those like me who have a Porsche 944 and have never touched one before. Thank you very much for it. A hug from Zaragoza (Spain). Marco
@@marcoscamara5624 Excellent! That is a great year to have, with many of the new updates Porsche made over the years. I live in the state of North Carolina in the US. I'm glad the videos have been helping you to maintain your 944! 👍🏼 The part number you'll need to look for is 94460708103. I was able to find a couple used ones for sale, one in the UK and one in the USA.

@@PawelPawellek There are a couple different sizes that will technically “work” for the top seal. I’m sitting on a bunch of extras, email me your address if you want and I’ll send you some for free. You can compare them to the one you ordered and use whichever…
Nc944 I just bought a Porsche 944 base 1986 but it won’t start I’m looking online the have issues with the DME relay and fuel pump and the reference sensor, in your knowledge it’s anything else can cause the problem
Hey man, congrats on the purchase! The list of “no start” suspects can be rather lengthy. In addition to those mentioned, you could include: DME Computer, Security System Control Unit, Distributor Cap, Rotor, Ignition Coil, Spark Plug Cables, Fuel Injectors, and numerous electrical issues. I’d probably start with the fuel system components, test for fuel pressure, test for spark, etc. Here’s a link with a lot of useful information - www.clarks-garage.com/shop-manual/ts-01.htm#fire
@@NC944er I have to buy all of them 😂😂😂, I just realized the guy who sold me the car lie to my the power steering reservoirs is empty, I don’t know now if the power steering need to be replaced or rebuild, but that is the thing of a project car
@@diegoarmandolupicascarano7003 Yeah, the pumps and racks are notorious for leaks. The pump rebuild isn’t too bad and fairly cheap, steering racks can be pricey though. Some people just pull the belt off the pump and ride with a sort of depowered (manual) steering, but a true manual rack is a better way to go.
@@NC944er like you dos with yours ?? I saw you removed the power steering pump and add the rack and pinion without power steering pump. Or I’m mistaken
@@diegoarmandolupicascarano7003 Yeah, mine is now a true manual steering setup and not having to chase down power steering leaks has been quite enjoyable. 😂
I also just want to look at pics of your engine bay and think about how better mine could look. Once I change daily drivers where I am not putting the time into it, the 944 will get more love.
