My 1.8L 914-4 with stock Bosch L?-Jetronic FI after being stored several years started to develop a hard to start problem. When finally started would stall when I give the gas pedal any input to raise the revs. I suspect there was some kind of intake air leak and while fiddling around had a backfire which blew the AF meter which I had Pelicanparts repaired. After replacing the fuel lines with the stainless ones from Tangerine Racing and flushing out the fuel system with Techron the engine started to run normally for a short time. Now the engine can be started and fast idles at 3000 rpm but again any input to rev up the engine results in stalling. The idle adjustment screw at the base of the throttle housing is fully closed. Any suggestions on how to fix?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Well the new boot and throttle gasket was delivered yesterday so I replaced the old today. I also noticed that my air filter was badly mangled at one edge but after I replaced it with new one no difference in engine response to gassing it(stalls). Attached thumbnail(s) |

When after many attempts to fire up the engine starts to idle at 3000rpm. I pinched off the Aux air valve and the rpm dropped to 1200, when I release the clamp the idle goes back to 3000. When I put my hand over the snorkel I feel no air moving into the AFM (its adjustment screw is covered by a rubber plug to discourage tampering after it was rebuilt. |
