 I broke the plug to my idle control valve. I bought a new plug housing. Easy. But I’ve had a devil of a time finding the right socket pins for the housing. Several weeks have been stalled waiting for 80 cents worth of pins that show up and are the wrong size. So, knowing the 914 has to drive next weekend, I went full DACO and soldered a pigtail of wires into the ICV and then crimped them into place. About to find out if it works, and will continue to work for a couple weeks while I sleuth out the right sockets for the plug Wish me luck! Zach |

Dunno. I did not have 2.0 induction gear to work with, and don't know its geometry well enough to say for sure.
I suspect it would work just fine, but that's really just a guess. Googling up the different 914 plenums, looks like my mods would work on the 1.7 and 1.8. The 2.0 is different. But in the end it still need to react to a throttle cable pulling on an arm, and the cable runs from a similar place. So while the mods may be a little different, the result would be the same. Zach |
