|
|
Trying to fire up the '87 924s for the spring, blew the nose off the starter, again, this is #3 destroyed. I'm going to try to verify the bell housing isn't from a turbo 944 (they say the starter mounting point is different and matters).
Other causes being investigated.
I'm having a heck of time buying another one. I want an early model "fatty", Pelican and other resources don't differentiate so it's a crap shoot what your gunna get I guess. this is my kid's car and he has to sell it off for tuition money so I don't want to go high end, gear reduction, torque monster, which is what I would do if it were mine. Advise sought as well as a decent rebuildable early starter.
BTW, the bell housing isn't slotted, the sensors are new and the one is shielded, grounds are clean, why it's kicking back and killing starters I don't know.
I suspect fuel pressure regulator leak, gassing intake which may exacerbate the issue, not sure. Injectors do not seem to be leaking. _________________ 87 924S project, '83 944 engine,

finallly sourced the "correct" early starter, the bigger bodied one and have not had a kick back issue since, note thet retailers won't differentiate starters and will supply the later, smaller bodied starter for all 944 and 924s and I am convinced these wreck havoc with our sensors. I finally found partsgeek listed the starters for early 944s and later as different numbers so I ordered the early one, it was fatter and is the magic bullet. IMHO.
