I've been having a issue with the 914 dying when I press the clutch to down shift or coming to a stop. The RPM's just drop to 0 and the car dies. It happens randomly and only when I'm coming to a stop or down shifting. When I'm shifting up it has never happened and the RPM's are great. The car runs perfectly otherwise. It will crank right back up when it dies at a stop or of coarse you can pop the clutch if its still moving and it will start right back up. If I take the car out of gear and just press the brake when stopping it doesn't happen either. It's very strange and I can't figure it out. Please any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd be curious to know if you drop it into neutral and get off the clutch quickly, does it still die? I'd wonder if the clutch actually had anything to do with it vs it just wanting to die without the momentum of the decel keeping things turning. Or, if in neutral and idling fine, does pushing the clutch do anything then? I wouldn't think so, but just a couple thoughts to try.

Thanks for the response yes when I'm traveling at any rate of speed if I drop it into neutral and then brake to a stop it doesn't die. It Idles great and starts right back up when it does die. sometimes it will have an issue with RPM's struggling when you start it back up and attempt to idle after its died. But to start and go it goes right back great. |
