Hi guys ,
I just hope that someone could help us with the idle of my '75 2.0. I have the car for almost 7 years now and idle was always a little bit too high. We have been trying to correct this but it got worse instead of better. We changed the distributor to a 123 ignition, we changed all the vacuumlines, the AAR has been cleaned out and the idle screw is completely closed. The car starts at 1600rpm when cold and once it is warm it goes to 3000rpm and the idle stays there. The car pulls very well , a lot better better than when I just had it.

Update:
By the end of August we finally had some result. My mechanic took the AAR apart again and it's working now. But we still have a minor vacuum leak on the throttle body. Rpm when cold is between 1400 and 1600 but it drops to 1000rpm after a few minutes. I can live with that. I tried to find someone in Europe to fix the throttle body but no succes so far. I also found a new throttle body in Germany but it was so expensive... BTW, do all 914's have the same throttle body? In the mean time , I made some long test drives and everything works well.

Throttle body shaft bushings are a common problem on light aircraft engines. A good A&P can take care of that quickly. As a side note: If one inadvertently connects the Oil Temp sending wire where the CHT sender wire should be connected you will have a 3500 rpm idle - warm or cold! Ask me how I know.
