I'm trying to resurrect a 75 1.8 thats been sitting for 15 years. (she was hiding in a basement next to the furnace for all that time). Pretty darn rust free as far as 914's go. She got parked for FI issues.

I'm trying to get her running again. I've got the tank clean. The fuel pump was cleaned and runs. The fuel injectors have been cleaned and checked, click well. Dual relay clicks when attempting to start. She turns over, but I'm not getting power to the fuel injectors. What to I try next?

Thanks,

Clay...info I got was from a Porsche mechanic who helped me get my 75 l-jet sorted. The AFM completed the circuit (according to him) and it needs to open just enough to allow the pump to run (relays, afm etc are all in the loop). He was dead on as the test we did with him there was open it alittle and behold..the pump started. His explanation was porsche did this so as not to have fuel being dumped in without air. I'm no expert here but this came right from a Porsche mechanic and he demonstrated the fuel pump not running when cranking and the flap close...and the fuel pump ran when opening it slightly. I saw it with my own eyes. Maybe the 75's are different but that is what I saw.

Now, back to this issue...you said you used starter fluid with nothing happening. You should have gotten something here since the fuel delivery system would have been bypassed. Is there spark/sufficient spark getting to the plugs? You said that you could hear/feel the injectors clicking...do you smell fuel? Have you tested to make sure the fuel supply lines have not been accidently hooked up in reverse?
