Having problems getting the starter to engage! I have a 1970 Porsche 914 which I've just installed a 1975 914 2.0L F.I. engine. I've attached a photo of the starter hookup. It appears from the starter solenoid there is a blue wire or red/black wire that suppose to go to the ignition switch! Does that wire actually go to the Fuse Relay Block Panel first then on to the ignition switch? Question #2: from the picture you can see the Air Aux Regulator which has 2 outlets, one comes from the air breather, where does the other one go? Question #3: One of the injectors slides in and out pretty easy, the other 3 don't, is that because the one has a faulty inner rubber seal? Question #4: Is there a problem using the 1970 Fuse Relay Block (Engine Compartment) since I'm using a later model (1975) 2.0L F.I. engine or do I need to upgrade to a FRB out of a 1975 914? Thanks again for all your help!

Ok, so I cleaned up the two large plugs on the plate by spraying with wd40 and pulling them on and off a few times and the car fired up no problems. It didn't even need to crank much which is normally unheard of. It's not conclusive as I haven't needed to crank much to start but there is certainly a massive improvement. I must have improved other connections too, like maybe to the coil.
I guess in theory there should be no need for an additional relay if the ignition switch is good. Wires don't just increase their resistance - just bad connections between them. There must be another connection somewhere as the yellow wire ends up red/black by the time it gets to the ignition switch. |
