In the process of running down one thing after another, took the ‘74 2.0 out for a drive. Had a miss, so pulled the plugs. This car has spent a lot of the last 9 years sitting, so gas tank has been cleaned and fuel lines changed.

#2 showed where a plug wire was barely attached which was quickly fixed, but the #3 plug was white. I mean really white. Like zero fuel lean.

After looking at the connection to the injector, I saw the boot was ripped and the connection was pretty dirty, so I took i apart and sprayed electrical cleaner in it

Drove it a couple miles, still had a miss, but when I pulled the #3 plug now it was black. Did I wake something up?

Pulling the engine soon to fix oil leaks, so is it worth it to pull all the injectors and get them rebuilt? I have no idea what’s going on here.

On another note, what’s the best manual for a 914 2.0?

TIA

Rob

Thanks-

That’s where I’m sending them. A little frustrating that they don’t take drop offs-they’re only a couple miles from me.

Don’t forget Mr. Injector if you have to send anyway. Provides the same services and looks to be less expensive to boot if this local Witch Hunter company can’t seem to figure out how to provide basic customer service to a local customer.

Mr Injector has done injectors for many on this site. No charge for those he can’t save. Ive had 11 questionable ones done with good flow rates on 8 and no charge on the 3 bad ones. Had 4 CIS injectors done too but unfortunately all were bad. Again no charge.
