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! |

Trust you instincts. The Djet is not a very complicated system compared to modern FIs and not a lot of components. Invest in a fuel pressure gauge and see what the fuel pressure is. Keep the gage installed and confirm the pressure when it acting up. I tape my gage to the back window so I can see it while test driving. You get the idea. Once you confirm your fuel delivery you can move on to another system, or fix your findings...best regards...keep us post on your findings

I think outside of checking loose connections and simple to do stuff, that might be a good place to start. |
