2000 986S electrics
Long story short.
Last fall on a drive, engine died. All lights on dash on.
Towed it home and found the fuse for the DME and Immobilizer blew.
Replaced and restarted. Idled without issue for 5 minutes or so.
During the test drive it was fine until 3-4K RPM. Above that the fuse popped.
New fuse and got it home.
Cleaned and reseated every connector I could get to, including DME, Immobilizer and all engine sensors. MAF sensor and intake was spotless.
Next test drive it still was ok under 3-4K RPM, but this time the engine cut out momentarily and CEL flashed, but returned to normal under said RPM.
back in the garage, I missed the oil temp sensor on top of the engine. That sensor connector was covered in oily road grime. Cleaned and reseated that connector.
The test drive was fine, drove it like a red headed step child, bounced it off of reline a couple of times without drama.
The went into storage for winter.
After studying the schemo, I am not convinced electrically that could draw more than 25 amps, or could it?
I do have a Durametric on order, so would some indication on what happen show up?
Thanks!
