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 |

Something else we dont talk about (vapor lock crap)... route the heat from the passenger side flapper box away from the fuel pump. Do this with a small hose attached to where the "bell" normally attaches. Porsche tried to solve the issue with the 9146 by placing a hole in the center of the bell. When the flappers are closed it routes the heat out of the "bell".. and onto the fuel pump. When do you have the flappers closed.??... when it is warm outside.
