Hi Guys,
I have a '74 2.0 that has original FI and runs very well. However, after a hour drive or so, the car will not start for about 10 minutes or until it cools down. I have replaced the starter and voltage regulator but still the same problem persists. I have heard of relocating the fuel pump to the front in order to prevent vapor lock but have not tried this yet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated...

Clark.

Of the........35+ 914's I've owned, never needed a hot start kit.

Check your grounds, replace the ignition switch, check terminal connections from source to end for starter.

You should be fine.
