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 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. So people with 1975-1976 cars should (in your opinion) relocate the fuel pump? {Are you NUTS} Band-Aid? Why would the factory relocate the pump if there was no issue? The later cars even use the same tubing through the tunnel. It was meant for pressure. When I relocate the pump up front, I use the 1975-76 pump designed for the task. Also of note, it matters not how far you are "pushing" fluid horizontally at least the volumes that our tiny 4-cylinder cars require to be pumped. The static pressure back on the pump is only due to elevation, not horizontal distance. This is simply physics and nothing else. |
