Heading to the garage now to start the install and my main, unresolved-in-my-brain question is if i need to hook up the vacuum line that is on my current stock distributor, on the 123. |

Keep in mind that i'm now away from the 914 so this will be from memory....
@VaccaRabite - yes - I've adjust two things: idle bypass screw with no/minimal effect - and the ECU knob, also with no noticeable effect. ECU was put back in the middle. Seems to me that a high idle would be indicative of a vacuum leak. I'm the opposite of this - low, low idle and it will not come up. @emerygt350 - I agree on sounding like 2 cylinders. I did swap the two connectors and it made minimal difference at best. Certainly nothing that drastically or dramatically altered the situation. I have a number of frustrating weeks ahead and I ponder this but I think the best thing to do would be to go back to zero. I'll put the original distributor back in and see what happens. After all, it ran great but the vac can not holding vacuum was the reason for the switch to a 123. I'm assuming that will reveal much. I suppose there is always the possibility that the 123 was DOA but putting the original back in should help shed light on that as well. I should have done that a long time back but i guess i always felt I was THAT close to turning a corner.... |
