I tried searching for ECU repair posts, but these stupid search engines don't like three-letter word searches.

I'm looking for someone that can diagnose, repair, service the 914 ECU. I might be willing to try it myself if correct schematics are available, but would rather hand it off to someone familiar with them.

TIA,

Agreed. ECU failure, both D-jet and L jet, is so rare as to be statistically nonexistent.

But it does happen. Mike's 914 developed a problem at RRC a few years ago that it would go suddenly full-rich and flood. Most of the time it would start back up again, but not always. As an intermittent problem it was really tough to pin down and we changed out every other piece of the d-jet FI system with known good parts because of exactly this approach. It was only when all else failed that we changed the ECU and that solved the problem.

But the Cap'n right - it's almost never the ECU and the best place to start is with checking mechanical things like valve adjustment and broken vacuum hoses.
