Quick overview of the focus 9 technology Solid state DME relay with diagnostics for the fuel pump and fuel system. Porsche 944 no start Fuel pump Ignition switch F9T
Joe of Focus 9 makes some pretty slick stuff and what’s great is he’s still actively developing new products. I’m secretly hoping my DME computer will fail so I have an excuse to pick up one of his Sport DMEs. 😂
I’m ALSO talking with Joe about the Solid State Sport DME with Diagnostic capabilities….. Hey guys just so you know, Joe runs special prices from time to time and he’ll have your Factory DME back in a very short time period….👍👍👍
Hello, I am taking part in a research project. I could not find almost any information about the "main relay" of Porsche 912. Can you help me with this? "What is the main relay of 912 L jetronics used for?"
This is a helpful tool. Did you also check the factory alarm circuit, if equipped? Nc944er has a very helpful video on that as well as Clark’s garage website. The factory alarm computer failing can cause no starts
@@tims_4x4_garage funny you say that I did i actually activated on purpose and it killed everything I had no more tach jump, but im gonna look at NC944 I didn't know he did a video on that. Plus Clark's website is invaluable with information.
Hello I have a 1987 944s and my front and rear windshield wipers the water for cleaning the windshield and the radio are not working, I chaged the DME relay recently, do you know what could be the problem??, the fuses are ok I have no idea what could it be because a few months ago all worked properly Thanks hope you can help me
@rockcrawlindude Thanks for the video. I have a 87 NA and just before I put it into winter storage, the guage cluster worked intermittently and then stopped. Have any ideas what that could be?
The gauge clusters can be funny in these cars. The fuel gauge sending unit may need to be cleaned, it also seems to be voltage sensitive and these cars don’t have the most robust charging systems. The MPG gauge, if equipped, is especially odd. Mine only works when the car is fully warm lol You may ultimately need to pull the gauge cluster. But, Before pulling the gauge cluster out, the first things I would check are all the fuses. Then the next thing I would check/clean are my two main grounds. One on the back of the block near the reference sensor and One right next to the battery on the body. Then, I’d check/clean my main positive cables one to the starter and one to the alternator.
I have a 1984 944 and can't seem to get voltage at the fuel pump , I have replaced the DEE control unit and multiple DME's that supposedly control that function. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Did you buy a non-running car or did you have a running car that quit? I don’t have any experience with the early model cars but do you have a good fuel pump relay you can try?
@@tims_4x4_garage Definitely a great running car and then just like flipping a switch , stopped . It's been sitting a couple of years after replacing the fuel pump relay and digital engine electronics control unit . I am definitely not getting fuel and am going to replace the pump , fuel filter and tank filter . I am waiting on the 2 filters but I thought that I could check the voltage at the fuel pump with just the ignition on , nothing. I don't know if the relay needs those items working somehow to actually send the power to the pump .
@@kregpeterman3145 I’ll read up and see what i can find. i always start at Clark’s when i have an issue. nobody explained things better than Clark www.clarks-garage.com
@@tims_4x4_garage Hey thanks but I just watched a stupid whiteboard tutorial and sure enough the engine has to be spinning so a sensor at the flywheel tells the dme to send power to the fuel pump. Thanks again for trying to help me .
@@tims_4x4_garage hey, so ive got my catch can installed and was just wondering what i do with the old hose that was originally connected to the top of the AOS. Do i just block it off? Thanks!

If I end up copying you and doing the Lindsay MAF upgrade then I’ll need a 28 pin upgrade so I’ll likely get the focus 9 dme at that point
@@tims_4x4_garage Also, if you find a relay that provides a more pleasant door chime, please let me know. 😂

A bit of trivia: the gong noise for the key in the ignition when the driver’s door is open is a very Flat Concert F. 😂
Clean the grounds! I cleaned the ones under the dash and that solved my hood light not working and the chime sounded weird, not consistent.
Just ordered one!
Awesome, man.

"What is the main relay of 912 L jetronics used for?"
Im having a no start issue just ordered this after watching your video. I tested everything the traditional way maybe this will help 🤔

I need to invest in some F9T relays for a piece of mind, I have a 83 so my fuse box is under the dash 😒
Olie smokes thats cool
Where can I find those DME relays like that?

@@tims_4x4_garage Thanks. Hoping to get it out of storage soon and will give it a try!.
@@toaderbuf6100 I assume you’re not close to me (Georgia) since you store it for the winter.
@@tims_4x4_garage Western NY. Looking forward to the driving season!
@@toaderbuf6100 lol always driving season here dude
Where’d you get the relay? Thx for the vid
Directly from focus 9 tech. They have a website

@@kregpeterman3145 so it’s a reference sensor issue?
Can you make an install video when you get the Lindsey racing catch can
Hey man. I’ve been running it for months now. It’s pretty simple to install. Hardest part is getting to the AOS which is under the intake runners
@@tims_4x4_garage oh ok, im about to order one but cant find any videos or instructions on it so i just wanted to make sure it’s doable for me
@@HarrisonBernath I think it would be pretty hard to run the hose without removing the intake but you might be able to.
@@tims_4x4_garage hey, so ive got my catch can installed and was just wondering what i do with the old hose that was originally connected to the top of the AOS. Do i just block it off? Thanks!
@@HarrisonBernath yea man
