This winter I pulled the motor and transmission out of my 70- to fix the transmission issue I was having. I bought a good transmission after running out of time before spring (I was working on rebuilding a side shift) and put it on and reinstalled the motor.
I hooked up everything just as it was- but now it won't start. I have fuel, I have spark, it cranks over strong, but it won't ignite. So far I have gone through the 12 pin wiring harness for ignition (starter, backup lights, Air Sensor, Oil Pressure switch, Coil, and Fan). I rebuilt it since there were small breaks here and there. I replaced the points & condensor. Gapped the points appropriately.... (.016in). Can you plug any of the FI wiring in backwards? Everything kind of just fell back into place since it's been that way for 40 years. It would feel awkward to plug something in wrong. The car started immediately before and ran near perfect (best running 914 I've owned yet)- now it won't start. I did replace the fuel lines while I was in there as well (they were old). Any ideas? What could I be missing? |

High idle could be a vacuum leak. are all the exrtra holes on the plenum plugged? all hoses attached? Hose off decel valve will cause a 2000 rpm idle.
