Hey guys I am new to the form, but i purchased a 914 about a month back. Its a clean Porsche with 24k miles on it, and it shows. But it has absolutely no power when it comes to hills, first gear or just period. barely makes it out of my driveway in reverse and it is not that steep. It has the 1.7L and i would like to get some more power out of it but not change it from original. Thanks to my county i don't have to smog it so that's not a problem but it was smogged by the original owner. Anyways its registered as a classic vehicle and only has one dent! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) anyways Let me know what you think and If any one can help with the lack of power i would greatly appreciate it

Unless you've already corrected it, the injector connector for cylinder # 2 is unplugged. That would certainly cause a loss of power.
Also, your vacuum hoses look pretty old. Check all of them - and if they're cracked at the ends, you can try snipping off the ends just past the cracks (if the hoses are long enough). If not, replace them with new ones. |
