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) |

Are you sure the 2 fuel lines are connected properly? Pressure regulator outlet hose, across engine to return ("Y") fitting at pump, right side rail to pressure ("D" on pump)?

Hmmm. The flow of fuel seemed to be the way it was before but I'll give that a more specific look as well. The car was a rock for like 8 years, but I'm paying for it now! Thanks guys love the ideas. |
