914World.com _ 914World Garage _ d-jet 1.7, turning over but not starting

Posted by: surfdogskier Nov 22 2016, 08:50 AM

Hey guys, finally got back to my car. I switched out the ignition switch which was broken. Now my blinkers, wipers, lights, etc work great. However, I am still to getting the car to start. Turns over fine and I know my fuel pump is working and sending gas through the lines.

I am wondering if my cold start valve is gone bad. I plan on taking it off today. What should I expect to see or not see? I heard these do not go bad often but something just isn't working and that was my next step.

What steps do you guys recommend?

Thanks again

Hi, since it is cranking and you have fuel....check for spark.
PS : you mention : "fuel pump is working and sending gas through the lines"...that does not mean your injectors are firing/sending fuel in, so check that as well.
Keep us updated !
