Hello everybody...
I have a problem with my 2000 986. He starts fine and then when he gets to 185F in the temperature gauge he the engine shuts off. I replaced the ignition switch cause thats what a lot of people told me it could be but it didnt do anything. Now Im wondering... Is it possible that the problem could come from the CAMSHAFT OR CRANKSAHFT POSITION SENSORS ?

Does it make sense ? Has anybody experienced this before ?

He will shut down and I cannot get it to start until hes fully cooled down. The engine cranks but he doesnt turn on.

HELP PLEASE....
