Stupid question, but did you plug the air flow meter back in?

I replaced my voltage regulator over the weekend and my car did the exact same thing when I tried to start it. Oh yeah... I forgot...

Thanks! The problem is that the 931 nose panel doesn't fully fit with the turbo/S2 without modification but there is a different vented version available for you.

Also, wherebouts in NoVA are you?...

I use Mobil 1 15w50 year-round with annual oil changes (5-6k miles). While I'm not sure if it's the ideal thing, the car has 196k miles on it and is going strong so I don't see the need to change...

Odds are that, at 34 years and 166k miles, that original rubber clutch broke years ago. Unless someone replaced it with another one (which might have also broken since then), you should be fine. ...
