My 914 still doesn’t start regularly. I turn the key and every time I heir the buzz my guess is the D-Jet fuel pumping and then it might start or nothing happens. Once it starts cranking it will start just fine. Here is a list of what I’ve done. What am I missing??? What could be wrong?
New battery Clean the connections on the battery New ends on the positive wires to the battery New ignition switch Clean and replaced connections on the starter solenoid Cleaned ground strap connections from tranny to trunk Kevan |

Well so far.. I have replaced 4 ignition switches in 17 years of 914 work and installed NO relays (all the cars are 28 years old now...)
Band-Aid... ha ha.. I know what you are saying.. but I'm tired of the BS fixes I see people using from time to time. The 74's are a different story. The yellow wire can become corroaded over time because of its location under the passenger seat. It is subject to water soaking if any water sits on the floorboard for any reason (again..fix the problem.. replace the yellow wire in the harness from end to end) B |
