Completed rebuild on 1974 914 2.0 L. All fuel and vacuum lines are also new. Engine idle varies between 1000 and 2000 rpm every few seconds what could cause this?

I had a hunting idle and it went away when I replaed the Manifold Pressure Sensor MPS with a correct untampered one. Cross check your MPS part number and make sure it is correct for your model.

Also, if you look super close at the space down and around your ECU knob, you will see a melted spot in the plastic. That is the factory calibration point for the ECU knob pointer.
