We did notice recently that the insulation on the reference sensor plug/connection wires (directly below the rear of the passenger side fuel rail) is cracking and peeling back a few inches away from the plug itself. But it is only the outer black insulation, & not the actual wires. The wires actually look fine, with no apparent cracks. We wondered if that could be part of the issue, but have wiggled and reconnected over and over, with no change to the issue.

Howard is one of the best 928 techs alive - tell him I said hello.
Have you gone back to him and asked what the problem could be? He usually loves a challenge...

No. Unfortunately he is 100 miles away still, so I haven't been able to carry it up there.

Just went out and turned it over for first time in about 4 days following the rain. It cranked up immediately, & purrs like a kitten. Soooooo... I just got off Weather.com, to see if I am able to drive it today. Such a shame.

Just got off the phone with Howard, who is also somewhat stumped by the fact that it has fuel, spark and pulse at injectors, yet won't start. He thinks it has to be something that is making it run too rich, when there is moisture in the air. His reasoning for this is the fact that I told him that it smells much stronger than normal of fuel after 3 seconds of not cranking, and because we pulled one of the plugs and it was fairly saturated with fuel.
But he had no ideas on what would cause that. I wish I had a spare M/A Flow Meter to put on it, but don't. Anybody anywhere near me got one I can use to test it? That was the one component that tested out with the Hammer when at Howard's shop, yet he felt it was borderline, based on the numbers. It was sent off and re-wired last year, by a fellow that Jeannie/928 Specialists recommended to me. It ran great following getting it back from him. I wonder if it needs to be rewired again. Any thoughts on that?
