75 914/4 2.0
Car has been sitting under covers for 12 or more years. I don't really know much about when it last ran. Given what I do know, it may have been 20 years or more since it ran. Car is rock solid - body wise. Longs, floorboards, hell hole, etc. are at most just surface rust. The only rusted through area I could find were minor pin holes in the rear trunk area. Am I kidding myself by trying to bring life to this thing using the original FI system? All the parts seem to be in good condition - the ECU shows signs of age, the wiring (for the most part) seems "good enough". The motor is out - so IF I were to go with a carb setup, now would be the time. Looking for opinions, and if anyone wants needs a FI system for their 2.0 (just in case I bowl feed the beast). Thanks, Len |

At this point, I'm sticking with the FI system.... only concern is getting it running after sitting for so many years.
All my other cars were with carbs - never had much of an issue - except for the chokes (even in Florida) - most wouldn't start until you had enough fuel In fact, I was going to convert my TR6 to a FI system - that used the existing carb bodies to hold the injectors... interesting set up, but ended up selling it before I had the chance. |
