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. |

Kevin,
This same thing happend to my 75 1.8, 4 or 5 years ago. For me it was the Cylinder Head Temperature sensor (CHT). Started great first time of the day then if i turned it off it wouldn't start until it cooled down. If it isnt the fuel pump, I would try this next. -Peter |
