The car had been sitting out for 12 years in a yard and needs quite a bit of work. Lots to do, but I'm happy have to a project car to work on sitting outside the house! I've been a fan of the 944 for quite a while and had a Track Experience in a Porsche Booster a while back. Fastest I've ever driven!

Welcome aboard Ross! Sounds like a fun project. Post some pics so we can see what you are up against.

We have a lot of community experience/knowledge with the 944, so don't be shy if you have questions! That's what we're all about here on Carpokes!

Welcome aboard Ross.
Be sure to look at the 924/044/968 posts as well as the other Transaxle groups. You will find several members in the same situation as you in that they just bought a 944 that has been dormant for several years. You are not alone here. Have fun.
Regards
Rob

Just joined. Carpokes, looks interesting. Hi everyone, my name is Nancy, I have a 2018 Boxster, my husband has a 2014 911. Quick question, has anyone else had problems with the fuel gauge dropping to empty. And what did you do about it?

Welcome to Carpokes!

I don't have a ready answer to your question nor have I had any issues with Porsche fuel gauges. However, others here should have some ideas.

I will add that the first thing that I would consider is either a bad sending unit or a bad ground.

It probably would help to have more info. As P_Coastal mentioned, which car? Also, how does the gauge behave? Is it persistently stuck at empty no matter how much fuel is in the tank? Or does it show a level and then drop? Those kinds of symptomatic cues might help others diagnose the issue.
