How do you fix a no spark problem on a 84 porsche 944
First thing to check, pull the distributor cap off and make sure the rotor is still screwed to the shaft, they had a bad habit of getting loose, it also gives you a chance to make sure the cam is turning. Next I'd just replace the DME relay because they commonly caused this problem, then check the output of the reference sensors with an analog voltmeter on the lowest scale - you're looking for 2v blips, also confirm 12v at the coil with the ignition on. If you have all that you may need to pull the DME out and re-solder the connections from the big power transistor to the pc board, they crack over time.
How do you check if you have compression on a 84 porsche 944
You have to buy or borrow a compression gauge tester. It threads into the spark plug hole; so you pull all the plugs out, then check each cylinder's compression. The proper way is to first disable gas and spark, put the tester into the first cylinder, then crank the engine over a set number of times- the same amount of cranking for each cylinder, so all get a balanced test. While cranking, hold the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor-this lets the engine breathe normally, getting all the air available. then compare your compression readings: a good healthy engine will have all cylinders pretty even, in the range of somewhere between 150 psi-200 psi. Low compression readings means compression is being lost somewhere, like worn piston rings, bad head gasket seal, or valves not sealing.
Wondering if you have any compression at all? Hold your finger over a spark plug hole while someone briefly cranks the engine over. You can tell if there's any compression at all-you will feel the pressure build up under your finger. Rent or buy the gauge tester to get a true reading of your compression.
