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 |

QUOTE(Brad Roberts @ Mar 24 2004, 10:50 PM) I do NOT like mounting the fuel pump up front. You are pressurizing a 30 year old plastic line that was NEVER pressurized to begin with. Again.. Band-Aid for the true problem. I feel it could lead to lean spots in the running of the car because of pressure drop. Sure you can crank the fuel pressure regulator up... but the pump NOW has to push fuel over 13 feet to the first injector. B So are you saying that you'd rather have an injected pump at the rear? Would you move it from the stock front location back? |
