Used to read the 914 parts diagram catalog like a novel and thought I had it all figured out. But after seeing an old picture in the Classifieds today of an L-jet throttle body with a spring, I realized I don't have this spring.
Porsche calls it the Return Spring 022 129 881 F. Can someone with a 1.8 L-Jet please post a picture of where this spring connects. I can see where it connects on the TB, but what about the other end? On the plenum, or body sheet metal somewhere? Thanks, Bryan |

Found this thread while reattaching the return spring on my L-Jet; After looking at the picture I see mine had been on backwards; the outer end had been attached to the plenum instead of the rear tin.
When I connect the spring to the rear tin, it pulls the arm of the throttle body back Toward the rear. So, does this add tension to the main TB spring and make the accelerator pedal harder to push ? |
