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. (IMG:http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x311/jhelgesen/75%20914/DSCN5141.jpg) 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, |

Still trying to start the motor without success.
I know I have mis-matched injectors right this second, but was going to fix that soon. Right now I have 3 from a 912-e and one of the original 1.8's. I have a nice set of 1.7's on the shelf.... Trying to understand from what I've been reading, are L jet and D jet injectors not compatible? I saw the flow rates the same for the 1.7's vs the 1.8's, so I thought.... (BTW, I'd trade the 1.7's for 1.8's if someone was interested) |

(BTW, I'd trade the 1.7's for 1.8's if someone was interested) If I remember pulse rates are different so not interchangable 1.7 to 1.8.....it's a Djet vs Ljet thing. I bought NOS Ljet injectors from AA last year for around 55 each when chasing down a rich running problem I was having (see below that injectors was not my problem). I have the injectors that I replaced that are very usable as is and would be in great shape if cleaned. There are others smarter than me that will chime back in I'm sure. My experiance with 75 1.8 Ljet Relay talk above is this. When I had Relay's in my relay board FP ran all the time. It was in a 72 body so I assume earlier relay board. FP was running so much I was thinning out my oil because so much gas was getting by rings....ouch (and that 1.8 is still strong as an OX). Good Luck Ken |
