Well I have been driving my 914 now for about 4 days on the road here are my problems.
1- When I want to accelerate fast and push on the gas then my car will just bog down and then will accelerate super slow. So I have to barely press on the gas if I want it to accelerate fast.Im thinking its getting to much air and not enough gas when I do that not sure though. Plus it seems when my car is hot I lose alot of power. 2- How hot should my car be its just over the half way mark. Plus when its gets that high and I shut the car off I have a hot start problem some times. 3- How good of fuel milage should I be getting cause right now its really bad. Im guessing like 15 miles to the gal. I have check for gas leaks and everything it smells like my car is running rich. Im sure I have more but this will work for now so thanks for those who can help. |

On a 1.8, it's important that you plug the vacuum lines. The 1.8 is timed at idle, and the car will idle very poorly with vacuum leaks like those that would be introduced by having open vacuum hoses like that.
On a 1.7 or a 2.0, it is not important that you plug the lines. Disconnected vacuum lines will, for the most part, only raise the idle on a D-jet car. And you set the timing on a D-jet with the engine at 3500 RPM, so it doesn't really matter if the lines are plugged or not. They must be disconnected from the distributor (or from the throttle body if it's more convenient for you), but plugging them should not have any effect on setting the timing. It is good "shop practice" to plug them, however. Because it is important on some cars, and if you get into the habit of doing it you will be able to work on those cars without having to stop and re-think everything. --DD |
