Hey Guys,
I'm about 6 months into searching and researching these cars(914) and from what I gather...they were designed for fuel injection and should have fuel injection to work properly. I've read the warnings of poor engine runnings and bad gas mileage and all...but I still see SO many great cars that I've passed up because they are carbed. Can someone give me a little context in how to think about this stuff? I'm not a gear head and don't have enough knowledge to know why and why not. Anybody? I know what George at Auto Atlanta thinks....what about the rest of you guys? I'm a newbie and need your sage advice. Thoughts guys? Thanks for any clarity or perspective. Jim |

So let me relay a recent experience:
Huey has been sitting on the lift since early November. Not moving, not started...under a cover. About 3 weeks ago I replaced the throttle cable and cleaned up some of the underside. I reached in the car, popped it into neutral and turned the key. It started right up. Never got in it, didn't pump the gas, didn't say any prayers, no swearing, no "come on baby...come on...". Just started right up. No drama. Stock FI (ok, 3.2 liter /6 stock FI, but still FI) Papa Smurf, with over 350 hp is FI too. Just sayin'.... |
