While getting my head back into the 914 I have found something I have no idea what it does, or where it really wants to be attached to. The one end went to the air distribution box as is shown in the second picture. The other two ends were just floating around the engine compartment. Could someone tell me what it is and where it goes?

It's a thermotime switch. Activates the cold start injector when the temperature is below 20 degrees F or somewhere around that area.
The "mystery" part is the deacceleration valve. Adds extra air to the intake under closed throttle operation for emission control. Also may alleviate backfiring on closed throttle operation. It also appears that the wire colors are wrong .. Solid green is auxillary heater blower Green w/ red trace is oil pressure sender wire (to gauge) Solid white is to thermotime sensor |
