uh oh - I'm trying to figure out what vacuum tubes go where and my reality does not match the schematic, and worse, it appears that someone may have gotten creative.
In the pix below - I don't know what the 'Y' is, and it appears that in the second pic there has been some rubber goop poured around the fitting. From the Y - one hose goes immediately to the fitting nearby - the other travels around the engine bay - thru the thing in pic3, and back to the 'customized' fitting with the rubber goop on it. have a look a the pix and see if you can tell what is going on here....please. thanks all td Attached image(s) |

Disconnect the TPS to see if the bucking goes away. It will run w/o it though not as responsive. I like that plastic y-fitting. That is off the fuel system but no biggie. The car will also run w/o the decel valve but may backfire when cold.
Now hear this; pull everyone of those ancient POS hoses and replace them. Even the rubber couplings on your intake runners look bad. If your AAR is cracked or broken you can find plenty here to replace it with. Buy a 914 Hayne's manual, a timing lite <$29 @ Harbor Freight, a dwell meter off ebay <$30 then bookmark these two sites and start reading them (over & over). http://bowlsby.net/914/Classic/TechNotebook.htm and http://members.rennlist.com/pbanders/ WARNING: We have an old shark (name of Cap'n Krusty, cruising these waters) and if he suspects you are not trying to educate yourself in this process he will chastise thee forthright. Ask me how I know. |

Ask me how I know. UNDERSTOOD - I am trying to learn my way thru this thing - thanks for the reference links, I had not seen those before. I have the Haynes manual and timing light, don't have a dwell meter. Thanks for you help....also, located in Napa if anyone fancies a drive up a twisty mountain road - wine awaits those making the trek.... td |
