Used to read the 914 parts diagram catalog like a novel and thought I had it all figured out. But after seeing an old picture in the Classifieds today of an L-jet throttle body with a spring, I realized I don't have this spring.
Porsche calls it the Return Spring 022 129 881 F. Can someone with a 1.8 L-Jet please post a picture of where this spring connects. I can see where it connects on the TB, but what about the other end? On the plenum, or body sheet metal somewhere? Thanks, Bryan |

What is the actual purpose of the long spring? It seems like it prevents the throttle from closing too quickly. The actual return spring is wrapped around the TB shaft.
