Known issues on the 1987 944. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering the fuel rail: the high-pressure fuel line hose between the fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator is subject to hardening, which can cause fuel leaks at the metal pipe fittings, and those leaks could ignite on the hot exhaust or another ignition source, risking an engine compartment fire. Owners have filed 4 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.
From tracing a fuel line leak to a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1987 944.
