I have a 85.5 944 NA and I'm in the process of building a cup car. I think I make a big mistake as I was in the process of cutting all the non needed wires to save weight that I think it was ok to cut but now the car wouldn't start. The car starts and runs find prior to this attempt.

I did not touch the DME wiring at all and I thought I only cut all the HVAC, radio, power windows and lock wires. The car does crank and now the fuel pump seems to not getting power at all. I tested the pump by putting a direct 12v source and I can hear the pump turn on. I don't think there's spark at all too as I think the DME is not getting power too. So now I'm pretty much dead in the water and I have an event at the end of this month.

Can anyone give me a suggestion on what I should do? What's the quickest way to get the car running? Do I need to actually get another wiring harness from another car? All I need to happen is to have power to the DME, fuel pump, injectors and the stock guages.

Thank you.

Reconnect the lock wires.

Can you tell me which is the lock wire or where to look for it? I have the wiring diagram.

You are in bad shape, cutting wires so blindly. Unless u can red a wiring diagram, looking for a needle in a haystack. Try to locate from the source where the lock or alarm is engaged to the rear of the drivers side door.

Yes, I know what a careless mistake I did and this is a lesson learned to be patient and be informative before tacking a job like this.

I know that some 944 have a key lock alarm right behind the driver's door but my 944 do not have that. I do see 4 wires in that area and 2 I know is for the speakers, I'm not sure what the other 2 are for. Maybe that could be it?
