My 914 had not run for 3 years. I soaked the cylinders in WD40 for a couple days before starting. I discovered heavy rust in the fuel tank so I replaced:
Tank, hoses and pump. Injectors and engine bay fuel lines And Flushed the long fuel lines until they ran clean The engine started but there was no power, poor idle I Replaced: Points/plugs/condenser/coil. Reset timing and idle (The dwell is no high side- 58) Power is back and idle is good. The Problem: When I give it gas, it will back fire into the throttle body. It seems to happen a 2k - 3k rpm range. It's doesn't happen every time. Ideas? |

Double check your firing order on the distributor cap. Two swapped plug wires can cause a backfire and sluggish running like you describe.
