I am the new owner of a 1972 914 with a 1.8L engine and L-Jetronic fuel injection. The car runs but begins to stumble when I reach 3,000 RPMs. Where should I begin looking for the cause? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Start with the basics-
Spark plug gap Timing Fuel Filter Condition of the plug wires Clean your grounds |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Fuel and timing is where I would start.

Can you duplicate the stumbling while revving the engine when the car is in neutral, or is this only happen when driving?

we all talk about the basics, but the trigger points need to be checked as well
