I am converting back to D-Jet and my car will start but dies right after. It will not rev up applying throttle. I have a 1975 914 2.0. It was running great with Weber 40s prior.
The D-Jet system is from a 1974 2.0. All the parts came in visibly good condition. TPS calibrates good, AAV tested good, Thermo sensor good, air intake temp sensor good, and a new cylinder head temp sensor. The only test that I think is failing is the vacuum test on the MPS. It leaks. Video of testing the MPS.. The MPS has also been rebuilt at some point. The original part # has been removed. There's a good chance it is not calibrated for my car. I have all new vacuum hose and fuel pressure is between 28 and 30. I don't have any tools to calibrate the MPS. Should I try turning the inner screw on the MPS to see if it helps? Or should I send it to someone to have it rebuild again and recalibrated? If the later do you have any recommendations on who to send it to? |

I set the timing even though I'm confused on where TDC is for #1 now. It runs pretty descent. Idle is still a little high at 1150 after the AAR closes and with the throttle adjust screw all the way in. There's a hole in my throttle plate. Is there suppose to be? If I plug it with my finger the RPMs drop down and I can then open the throttle screw to bring idle up to 900 or so. Here's a link on how the car sounds now. Idle after timing
