Maybe you guys could help Ian trouble shoot his Ljet and then he doesn't need an aftermarket FI system.
I installed it, ran flawlessly, my 914's known good '74 Ljet system on a 2.0 914 engine. About a year or so later, just in the morning, it won't start. It cranks and cranks real good but won't catch. When I did it all new hoses including runners, cap and injector seals, head temp sensor, matching dizzy added pertronix. Like I said, worked flawlessly, I test drove it for two weeks, only odd thing was starting you had to give it two pumps with the pedal like carbs. The system, when it was on my 1.8, you never needed to touch the gas to start. Perfect O2 WB meter, fuel pressure and head temp readings. He used to have a big hill, he'd bumpstart it and it ran and started perfectly all day long. He can bump start it in the AM and it will still start 10-12 hours later. His new place doesn't have a hill. Unfortunately I'm some 1300 miles away. |

Sound's like the problem I had with the bad ignition switch. Wasn't touching the start and run contacts at the same time.
