Congrats!

I love 912s, and plan to get one.

I despise CARB and its frickin' moronic dictates.

Lucky you. When I still had to smog the '74, I took it to a shop who flat out told me they couldn't smog it because they didn't know what they were looking at...

i am fortunate to have several good porsche shops with experience getting 912e through smog.

i now understand how special 911s are.the 912e is a 76 911 with a 914 motor.there is definitely something special as to how it handles and feels.i still love my 914 as well.


my gas pedal gets sticky on the 912e and i wonder if the the throttle body valve can be a source of resistance if dirty.?anybody have experience with this?.ive added some wd40 to throttle cable and it did help.

I have a 74 2.0 914 with factory injection. one of the things to look at is the pivot shaft of the throttle body. disconnect the cable at the throttle body and see if throttle plate pivots smoothly. while the cable is disconnected from the throttle body see if the cable moves to and fro by having a helper press on the accelerator cable. if you are alone, you could also disconnect the cable at the pedal end and while standing over the motor, see if the cable moves smoothly to and fro. Hopefully you will only need a cable.

How'd you get it passed without the air pump? The T/Rs I can understand, cause you can't readily see 'em.

Ahhhh ... In my starving-just-before-dinner fog, I thought those pictures were of the car in question. I see they're not. Pardon the flaw in my perfection ...

Hi Mickey914;

I also own a 912E, bone stock. What's that little round can next to your blue coil. Except for that my engine compartment looks exactly like yours.

Some type of a diaphragm on the vacuum circuit. Didn't know it wasn't stock. Maybe an PO modification to pass without the pump, as it does.

Posted by: Krieger Oct 25 2014, 06:15 PM

It looks like an oil temp/pressure sender. The hose loops up and then down to the stock sender location.

The "little round can" next to the ignition coil is an oil pressure sending unit with terminals for both the light and a gauge. Note the high pressure hose that goes to the original port for the OP switch.
