Starting a 6 Month Dormant 924

:sly:

I let my Porsche sit for 6 months after I went cruising one evening at an easy 100 mph and the back hatch glass sucked out of the frame and smashed into a million tiny pieces. I have a new glass now and the car is giving me a rash with starting.

I did have a problem in the past with junk in the gas tank (cleaned it out) and everytime I called the only mechanic I let work on it to start the car, he does this with no problems. It pisses me off because he won't tell me how he does it. I surmised that he is using ether, which is what I have used in the past only I am not sure where to put this in the fuel system to not cause a blowout of the intake (I would use minimal amounts anyway and *flush* it between each app).

If you are going to tell me to take it back to the mechanic, save your breath. I have rebuilt VW engines before and just because I make enough money to where I don't have to do this anymore, I am also thru with not knowing my own equipment just because I have a day job that takes my time.

Does anyone have any tips on what I can do to get this car running again?

Thank you,
Charlane :rofl:

What I've done with mine is replace the fuel pump relay with a switch, so I can purge teh old fuel out of the system before starting.
