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) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Do I spy vinyl A pilars? Is this one of those 1000 Ca cars?
As for the fuel pump problem. If it has the original factory wiring. Brown is ground to the fuel pump. I would get a small 5ft jumper wire from the battery and go directly to the + side of the pump to verify the pump works. Step 2. Remove hose from the in of your filter. Gravity should push down the fuel in the tank and spill out. If not then u have a bad fuel line. Obviously this step will only verify fuel to the filter, not your voltage problem. Good luck |
