I have a 1976 914 2L that is stock. The engine runs great and starts right up when cold. After driving the car and the engine warms up, I shut it off and have a very difficult time restarting it. After it sits for a while and cools down, it starts up fine. Any ideas? Thanks, John VS

Sounds to me like a classic case of "Vapor Lock". Where is your fuel pump located? I'm the farhtest from an expert but I have dealt with this problem before. I moved my fuel pump to the front and replaced the hoses and the problem cleared up. I have also heard that if you wait minutes it will start right up. That seems to work, but who wants to wait aound for 30 minutes?
Good luck, I'm sure you'll get some great advice from some of the regulars here. |
