Im getting very tired of trying to fix my car my self so I guess Im going to fork out the money and just pay someone to get it running for me. I can get it started by pouring a little bit of gas right into the throttle body but the car won't stay started. I had the car running on 2 pistions not to long ago and I have just replaced a fuel injecter after testing it and finding out it does not work. I have already put new spark plugs changed the oil and replaced the fuel lines but now it just won't stay going. If I press on the gas, once I get it to start it will ether die cause it gets fluided or it will jump up to a high rmp then drop like a door knob. The only place I can find that will work on my car is charging $70 a hour so what do I tell him to fix? Is it my timing or somthing else. My car is a 2.0 1975. Thanks

Well, I honestly have to agree with both nebreitling, and lapuwali. The important thing is that you drive your car. Djet will give the best performance. Carbs are better for those who know carbs and not FI. Once carbs are tuned right, they will give good service, but the drawbacks are cold starting, and altitude changes. Dirt is also a big problem. Find a mechanic who knows both, and take his advice. No offense meant to you, but at this point you should probably seek professional help for your 914 till you know more about the car. Don't make rash decisions. Weigh all your options before you spend 500 bucks on either one. I too once contemplated changing to carbs, but in the end it only made more determined to learn the Djet. I'm now a happy boy!!!!
