Hi everyone,
I had an issue with my 964 suddenly not started, backfiring, and struggling to fire. Looked into this and it seems the logical way forward was the flywheel sensor. So have fitted the new 996 style flywheel sensor, along with the new clip, and set the gap to 0.9mm using feeler gauges, and very crazed hands, but the car is still not sparking, although I do get a spark on the coils when the ignition is first turned on. When turning over, nothing. Tried pin 47 & 48 when turning over with a multimeter, to see if any signals to the ecu and nothing. I tested continuity of the wires and they are ok. What else can I test to see if the sensor is working? or set the gap in a different way may be?
Logic says, it's either; the gap, a faulty new sensor, or an ecu fault?
My gut feel is still the sensor or gap?
How or where can I get my ecu tested? When it first started playing up, it was a bit intermittent on starting with the occasional back fire. Any help and guidance greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Steve
