Update on 10/11/09: I ditched the old motor with a new one. So all the posts to page 4 I believe are for the old motor. I do have some issues that relate to the new motor on Page 5.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Thanks.
OK... first thing the fuel system and harness were removed because the previous owner wanted to convert it to a duel carb set-up. So I put the FI back in. I bought a fresh battery, oil, filters and replaced the all the fuel lines plus vacuum lines. Now I want to try to start the darn thing and all I get is a "click" noise from the starter... so i jack the left side leaving the right side on the ground and put it in 5th gear. I turn the tire front the back a few times in either direction. I try to start it agian... "click". So I do the opposite side, but this time on the right i can't move the tire at all... well it will move 2-3", but thats it. Brakes are free btw. I have seen on the www that "Miricle Oil" down the plug holes will free up the pistons if they are siezed. I just dont understand that I can rotate one side and not the other. Thanks for your help... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Update: Found Water in the Oil - Lots! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) What to do? Rebuild? Lube the hell out of it? More Mystery oil?

OK I got the pump working (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Now Im not getting spark. Remember this baby has been sitting for 20 years with the fuel system removed. The harness I put on seems like it belongs on a newer 914. The car came with two and one was torn into, so I used the one that was in-tacked. There is a lead off the grounding portion of the harness that ends in a injector type plug. The 1971 1.7 D-jet I don't think has a cold start valve.
So maybe I should just start fresh with a FI I know works. Do you think 1.8 L-jet would work on a 1.7? |
