helping someone else....
L-Jet injectors don't fire
points set correctly.
what would cause something like this to happen?
fuel pressure is there so evidentally it's not an issue of the power to the computer.
i'm trying to save another 914.
tell me what to check on.....i know 0 about L-jet...
L-jet injectors fire when key on, air flapper open, and coil collapses
first thing to check is the dual relay near the battery and the resistor pack........
forgive me being stupid, but what am i looking for when i test this dual relay?

the resistor pack is easy to troubleshoot. just look for continuity for the 4 resistors, one for each injector: no broken/open wires. if you have a "Lash", the old clymer book (an old 914 manual, like the haynes), there is a nice pix of the dual relay. maybe you could test it to see if it works properly.

First check for battery voltage (12V+) at 88z (power from battery) then voltage at 86c (power from coil terminal 15) with the key on and make sure that terminal 85 goes to a good ground. 88a - power out to air flow meter contact - 12V with the key on 86b - power in from air flow meter contact - 12V when cranking (with no big vacuum leaks) or moving the airflow flap by hand 88d - power out to the fuel pump - 12V when cranking or moving the airflow flap by hand 88c - power out to the aux air regulator - 12V when cranking or moving the airflow flap by hand 88b - power out to ECU and resistor pack - 12V with key on 86a - power in from starter terminal 50 - 12V when cranking 86 - power out from 86a to cold start valve and ECU - 12V when cranking |

mine's on the road....
ahhhh....for how long is the question.
as long as i can keep it on the road safely.
"hey britt, i've got an l-jet problem!", "give me 15 minutes and i'll see what the guys at the club site have to say".
k
i dont know everything!
