Hello all. Finally saved up enough to get a 914. It's a 1974 2.0 in silver. I am working through a few issues. When I first got the car home it was hard to start so I did a valve adjustment and now it starts right up. The next hiccup is the engine runs very rough just above idle until it is completely warmed up. I checked the AAR valve and it seems to open when the car is cold. I took out the air sensor and it passed the olms and vacuum test. Replaced the plugs but the old ones looked good. Light grey in color. I could use some help if anyone knows where the two wires in the white connector goes. This is all new to me and the learning curve is steep (at least in the beginning). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.Attached Image

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Welcome to the club. If you have not already done an introduction post with some pictures of your car, please do. It gives us all an opportunity to see what you are working with.

Posting pictures on this site can be challenging. I understand posting directly from your phone makes it easier, but I have yet to do that.

I do not have a Type 4 engine in my car so I can't be of any assistance with your running issue/wire connector - but hey, it is running and that puts you ahead of the pack. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Michael
