I have a 1975 914 1.8 that turns on from cold and runs great, until I turn the key off, then it won't restart. I will turn, start and immediately die. It will do this twice then it will only crank. Is it possible the ignition switch is cracked or going bad. Any ideas why it won't start. I have replaced the following:
points plugs & wires dist. cap & rotor Condenser When it is running from first start of the day, it runs smooth and strong. Also, if I let it cool down for a couple of hours it will start most of the time. |

its not the ignition swith, you said it will crank.
is it fuel injection.... if so .... probally the fuel pump. When you get it hot, turn it off. turn the ignition to the on position, go into the bay and pull the air flow meter off the big tube, stick your hand in the meter and activate the pump, you should hear the pump goin. you can also check the fuel pressure with a guage and see that it is gettin pressure. i am on my second pump, first one did the same thing.
