Hi all,
I am the ecstatic new owner of a slightly neglected 1973 914, 1.7 model which someone has put a 2.0 in. I got the car with first gear problems and ended up having to take apart the tranny and replace the first gear synchro and dogteeth... which I did myself successfully with out terrible difficulty. I got to Drive this sweet little thing around for about a week and the engine sputtered and died on me. It doesn't get gas -replaced the fuel pump -replaced the filter still no avail The leads in the fuel pump plug read a laughable .2 volts when the ignition is on and the engine turned over. Im not getting the power -replaced relay -cleaned all connections on the regulator plate Im getting 12 volts across the leads attached to the relay, but the relay isnt closing my circuit. Any Ideas?? I miss driving the darn thing! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |

although rare, the brains do go bad.
my '71 1.7 was down for months as i tried to diagnose issues similar to yours (no signal to the injectors when cranking the motor, in my case). after i broke down and took it to a pro, he spent hours covering the basics before swapping an ecu from a running car and she started right up. good luck and let us know how things turn out. oh, welcome to the madness! |
