Hello there,
I just bought a 72 914 w/ a 1.8 according to the seller. I drove it about 5 hours home no problem. However, when I drive it now, I can run for about 30 minutes then it starts to lose power and buck. The car stalls if I take my foot off the gas. I have to pull over, shut it down for a few minutes and then i can drive off. It then does this every 5-15 minutes. I also think I added to much oil, how are you supposed to check the level, I heard the engine needs to be running? Now there is oil all throughout the engine bay. Did I blow oil out throuhg the air filters, and if so can I take them off to drive into town, about 12 miles. Please help I would love to fix this tomorrow. Thanks, Scooter |

Britt is right, there's a dipstick...check with motor not running (only sixes get checked running). The oil mess sounds like it's overfilled...if not you may have a leak or a more serious problem. The intermittant bucking and stalling may be vapor lock (do a search to learn more about it) or it may be that the plugs are fouling because it's overfilled. There are a couple things with the fuel enjection that could cause it too, but I'd start with the oil check and then see what the plugs look like.
