I have a 1976 914 2.0 with fuel injection. The car was just shipped to me from Northern California and I have had it about a week. After about 15 to 20 minutes of driving when the car gets warm the throttle become non-responsive and it stalls like it's out of gas. The car has to cool for an hour or so then starts right up again. This is a very repeatable situation. Always starts when cool...stalls with warm and will not start for an hour or so. Not sure where to begin.
Thank you, Greg |

QUOTE(markb @ Apr 15 2011, 12:06 PM)  I had a 76 for 10 years. The car would not start if the cylinder head temperature sensor was not connected-I doubt that's the problem as your car is starting. I had the same issue you did, and found fault with the distributor breaker plate trigger points. They were almost touching constantly when heated, and my engine would shut down. Replaced and adjusted this part, problem solved. Good luck, Paul |
