944T died on highway, later a no start, intermittent problem 700

Well, at this point I can definitely maybe you were right :-)

While those two points did not appear particularly suspect, they were anything but perfectly clean. I know I hadn't cleaned them on this car. I cleaned and scuffed them up and gave all the contact surfaces a thin coat of dielectric grease.

I haven't taken the car out yet (and given it the opportunity to let me down), but as I cycle the ignition on and off it has not missed a single cycling of the pumps.

Is that intermittent cycling of the pumps when turning the ignition on and off an exact replication of what yours was doing?

I turned the key on with both grounds disconnected and the relay was buzzing and the tach registered 6500 rpm.

Even if it turns out not to be the particular root cause it is a good maintenance item to have done.

Thanks for your response.

Randy
