Hi all,
We just drove our 914 to Road America after 2 years of incremental work. Over the past year it has started perfectly, and it did the drive perfectly. It has a new starter that has been working great. We parked for registration, and when we got back to the car it would not crank. Fuel pump is running, electrical is working, but the car is not cranking or starting on a bump start. Any ideas? I checked the relays and relay board connections. Currently waiting on a tow. |

I have had that happen back when I just got the car. Very frustrating.
To replace the starter is just removing the left rear wheel and two bolts. Super easy, but do make sure it's not the low voltage to the solenoid issue first. Not much point in worrying about the bump start issue till you get it to turn over. Is it a 74 or later? I don't know anything about the seat belt cut out but I know people have problems with that too. |
