Hey All!
I used to be a frequent contributor here, but then kids and some other life stuff happened. Held onto the 914 though, and over the past year dropped the engine and did a much needed clutch/transmission service. Long story short, I can't get car to start again and after a lot of methodical investigating, would really appreciate some input. Here are some data points: - 1973 1.7 stock with DJET that always functioned great until engine came out. - Have discovered a bit of Frankenstein wiring. Fuel pump wired to coil/key on. - Went thru entire ignition after inconsistent spark. New (needed) wires, plugs, cap/rotor/points. Strong spark now. - Spray starting fluid in cylinders and it at least "pops". Original fuel injectors. When cranking I get ~.9 mV to each one at electrical plug. Have confirmed fuel to rails. - older merged exhaust with muffler part and air cleaner off. Not sure if that's enough to stop it from starting or not? In summary, I now feel good about spark but what am I missing on the fuel side? I suspect the injectors but I drove it to where it currently is. Any help would really be appreciated. Trying to get the old girl back in good form! Drew (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

Check the ground block under the intake plenum. All white wires if i recall correctly.
Post some pics of the engine with the air cleaner removed ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
