Hi guys, Chris from New Zealand here....finally bought myself a 914! Shes a '73 2.0 with original FI. Had her about a week, after standing for 8 years.
Previous owner spent some time and money getting her on the road as part of the sale to me, but still a bit of work to be done! I'll try and attach a picture. Took her for a shakedown run today for about 3 hours but then she started coughing and spluttering then stalled at about 60mph. Coasted to a halt, ignition on/off and away she went again for about half an hour.. Same thing again, ignition on/off and all was well for another 20 min.. This went on and on and the intervals between spluttering and stalling got more frequent until i just about made it home. Felt like fuel rather than electrical... Could it be the fuel pump, or any other ideas? I have a feeling I'll be using the forum quite a bit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Nice to meet everyone! |

Welcome, and that's a pretty car! I would first look to vapor lock. If she runs great when you start her up cold today, that could be the problem.
There are many other possibilities but that is the first I would look at. If it runs badly cold today, then it is not the issue and we can look elsewhere. |

Started ok this morning.. bit of a flutter, but a boot full got it idling.. Seems to idle high at around 1200/1400 rpm though. Havent taken it for a ride yet to confirm the same issue. A few members have suggest vapour lock, but also i think i'll start to check all of the connections first to eliminate the most obvious/easiest to check! |
