Hey guys, really need some help with something. I drove my 1993 940 turbo wagon to work this morning - nothing unusual about the ride in, until I got the parking lot at work. I put the car in park, and it seemed to be idling high (1500rpms), and then it just instantly died. The car will no longer start. It turns over, and turns over, but doesn't start.
Some of the back story - last weekend, the car went on a 3-day hiatus of not starting with no spark. Everything appeared to be working fine, except there was no spark from the coil, even though the coil was getting power. As a last ditch effort to get it started, I traced the red/white wire from the coil all the way back to the instrument panel where it plugs into the 8-pin connector at the back of the tach. I wiggled this connector around and the car started right up.
Fast forward to today, about 4 days later, the car is again dead. My question is, what would cause this connector to keep coming loose or making poor contact? Is there a way to "tighten" the connector to the instrument panel, or is the entire panel itself on the fritz and causing the issue? Any help would be great, I'm going to try to get this fixed enough to drive home after work in the freezing cold dark, but would love to take care of it permanently.
