Having a problem starting my 1970 1.7 when it is hot, the car starts right up when cold but once it's been shut down it won't re start.
My previous 914 was carbed so i have very little exp with FI. Does anyone have a checklist or a starting point to diagnose the problem Thanks all in advance |

Does it run perfectly when hot? And when cranking, is it completely dead (as opposed to sounding like it might try to fire when feathering the gas)?
I'm thinking "yes" answers to those might make the CHT (yes=cylinder head temp) less suspect? Need to narrow it down to fuel delivery or spark. Bad electronics can be affected by heat. Rule out spark first since that only takes a minute (just pull a plug wire, stick a plug in it, hold the threads against the case to ground, and watch for spark while someone cranks it). Fuel delivery troubleshooting takes more time. |
