Troubleshooting the Fuel System on my 1984 Porsche 928S

I need to move my 928 out of storage and into the garage of my house. However, there is one major problem: the car does not start. I attempted to start the car a couple months ago. Everything seemed to be working but the engine wouldn't start. At the time, I figured the car was out of gas. I had a minor fuel leak the year prior but it was a slow drip, so my idea was to add a gallon or two of fuel and see if the car would start. The car still did not start but strangely, I saw no fuel leaking. My conclusion was the fuel pump had most likely failed and since I could not hear the pump turn on, this seemed like a good place to start. With parts and tools in hand, I went back to the warehouse and crossed my fingers that I had everything I needed to get the car running this time.

Thank you for this great video. I like how you approach and solve problems. Many greetings from another 1984 928S driver from Germay.

There's a jumper post under the hood on the right side.
By the way, thank you for your service!

I know, but it was easier to get the car hooked up at the back then to maneuver it to hook it up at the front.

Nice looking 928!
I would have changed out the tank fuel strainer and fuel sender. Best of luck 🤙
Looking forward to the next update.

[@thediygrunt]

Oh I will be replacing them. I did consider the fuel strainer and then removed it from the shopping cart last second. That was clearly a mistake. But I got the car running and got it moved which was the goal. Now I need to buy a lot of various maintenance stuff so the next video will not be exciting either but I will slowly get the car running smoothly again.

Lovely, I feel you on a lot of things here. Mine does not do anything yet, and also the driver door is locked and broken. Very annoying isn't it.

[@thediygrunt]

Its a wonderful car, but it is probably the most complicated car to work on I have ever seen.

[@farginicehole513]

Why did it look like that nut on the fuel pump and also even the hose clamp were left hand threaded?
I also had one of those fuel pump relays go bad in my '84 Euro S.

[@thediygrunt]

I might have had footage of me trying both ways to get the nut on the pump loose. I remember one of them was so damn tight it had me questioning which way I was turning.

Where did you get the lift bar, and how much is it?

[@thediygrunt]

It has been a while but this should be who I bought them from. liftbars.com/. It looks like they have changed the design and possibly the materials in 2023. It says the new ones are only 15lbs, mine are for sure heavier than 15lbs. I do not remember how much I paid for them back when I bought them but they are around 360 dollars now.
