    '86 Porsche wont start?

    I replaced the coil because there was not spark. Initially there was fuel at the injectors but no spark now I have spark(it fires with a little starting fluid but that is all)There is fuel flow and pressure to specs at the rail, there is voltage at the injector with the key on. 5.3 volts at th air flow sensor and the correct MA reading for the position sensor at the air flow sensor. I plan to continue the checks tomorrow for the temp sensor and the TPS. Is it possible that there is a tie in with the alarm system and the fuel injector system? I did have to replace the battery (the car had been sitting for three years prior to trying to move it)If so how is this system reset?

    I would think its probably your starter, seeing as your car won't START.

    Since it fires on starting fluid, it sounds like this is a fuel problem. During those 3 years some old gas might have set up inside the fuel lines. You can still get flow and correct fuel pressure readings even if the lines are congested, but there would be less volume pumped through. Try taking the input line from the fuel pump and feeding it out of a gallon gas can.
