My 2001 Porsche 911 Turbo will not fire. When engaging starter, engine turns, no combustion. Is it the DME? If so, where is it located on this model?

Under the seat....right next to the ECU

Follow the link to youtube. 911 Porsche Carrera DME Relay and ECU DIY

This sound to me like the bendix inside the starter motor is not engaging.
It is not really a user servisable part but can be replaced for not too much money. Unfortunatly the starter motor has to come out for the repair to be done.

hello there
you fuel pump relay is called DME relay and it is in your trunk fuse box.Take the cover of and you will see it marked as DME

Hello there
First i would check the fuse no 6 (from the windshield -dirrection) which is for your fuel pump.
Than most common thing is you DME relay under the drivers seat(the black one)
It should click with the key on and of.
Then you should try to listen (with some one else using the key to start the car)
in front of the car for fuel pump sound while cranking the engine.
The computer is also located under your driver seat,they do not go bad,unless the water gets to it

that sounds like a fuel pump or fuel line blocked bro. good luck. doubt the dme

replace the starter drive gear this gear locks in one direction and rotates the flywheel once engaged.

your going to have to use a jumper box.good luck.
