Fuel cut off switch in '87 944?

[troyhenson@yahoo.com]

Is there an inertial fuel cut off switch in the '87 Porsche 944? I've been told there is but I couldn't find one.

My car got hit in front of my home and now won't start. The fuel pump doesn't turn on when the ignition is engaged, but it does pump when I do the jumper trick. However, the injectors won't actuate even with the fuel pump running. The engine turns over with gusto, and I appear to have at least some spark when I pull a plug to check. I'm baffled, please help.

Open the fuse and relay bin, and make sure all the relays are all the way down, connected. I had some vibration that loosened them up, and the symptoms sound just as you described, the DME relay is not making contact and you can't start the car, but the engine turns fine.
