Hello,
I am have a 986 2.5 1997. The people before me must have hated the car. Fuel pump hooked up with thin speaker wire and a switch inside the car. Fuel filter was by passed with a tiny little filter. The car is an automatic. The things i have done .Original problem was the water reservoir. So new water reservoir, repair the damage to the wiring and new fuel pump and filter (oem). New plugs , coils, tubes, new ecu . I have cleaned the throttle body and maf.

The car runs and sounds great (being i have never heard one before). It doesn't smoke or smell odd.

When i try to drive it . moves but no power maybe gets up to 15mph. All the covers are still off so i don't hear any odd with the engine.

Scanned with a Autel ms908pro. no codes.

109000+- miles on it

please help
