• Incorrect replacement part selection for 3-terminal applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify terminal count, connector shape, and mounting style before installation. Standard Ignition SLS-87 uses a push-in attachment method, male connector gender, male terminal gender, and blade terminals, so the vehicle connector and mounting point must match these specifications. Confirm the application notes for your Porsche 911, Porsche 928, Porsche 924, or Volkswagen model before installation, especially on vehicles with 3 blade terminal or manifold absolute pressure sensor notes.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition supplies electrical replacement parts for service applications, and SLS-87 is built with a metal housing and OE-style terminal layout for the listed vehicles.
