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

QUOTE(opera guy @ Sep 14 2004, 05:33 PM) i have a 911s 1974 that does the same exact thing... check fuel reserve, a 2.5x2.5x2.5 inch box... a CIS 911 is nothing like a D-JET 914, however... "fuel reserve" ? i have no idea what you're referring to ... filter? accumulator? (D-Jet cars have no accumulators ...) but back to the 914... so here's another place where and accurate problem description would have saved some time... okay - the engine cranks but won't fire... sounds like classic vapor lock, although a '76 should already have the pump in the front... still - when trying to start, turn the key on until you hear the fuel pump stop running. switch off, then back on. 5-6 times maybe. what you are doing is running the fuel pump to cycle cool fuel through the fuel rail and pressurising the system to purge the vapor bubble. try that... if that doesn't work, make SURE you have a good spark. coils have been known to weaken when hot... any modifications we should know about ? |
