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. |

I would suggest you check your fuel pump pressure or just step up and buy a new pump (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
That old pump owes you nothing. Rich |

Rich Rich: Checked the pump amd it doesn't work when the AFM flap is moved with the key on. I can hear the relay click, but the fuel pump is running. New fuel pump tomorrow. Thanks Kevin |
