First of all forgive my lack of knowledge. I am not new to cars but I am new to 914s. I recently purchased a 1970 914 1.7L. with D. Jet. The previous owner noted that it ran last year but was not able to get running this year. The car is far from perfect but I hope to be a solid start for a EJ20 swap in the next year or so. I would love to get the 1.7 fired up to start taking care of of other issues I am not currently aware of.
So let me start discribing what I am seeing Good Battery- Cranks over good and for a long time if needed Fuel Pump- working well but does not shut off after 1-2 seconds. New plugs New wires New cap and rotor I check the fuel rail and I know I have fuel to the injectors. I am able to fire the car up with starter fluid but ofcourse dies when it is burned off. I have had it runnig several times but is not consistant. I have check the grounds to the batter as well as the injector grounds. I don't know where to go next. Any advice would be appreciated. As you explain your suggestion please don't use abbrevations as I am not framilar with them all yet. Thanks -lance |

So it runs with starter fluid. That speaks a lot. If you only had a gallon of gas and you add more without draining the old you may have left bad crap in the line. Water is a real problem! I have had several problems with water in the gas. Pull the injectors as suggested and point them in a jar to see it fuel is coming out. Go from there. Lots of luck.
Come to Garolds this weekend with or without the 914 |
