Just picked up my new 914 this morning.
Drove about 40 miles back home at an average speed of about 70. Ambient temp was probably 85 and the humidity very low, probably around 10 - 15%. My (stock) temp gauge was almost touching the red a good part of the way. Just on the edge of red when I got home. Should I be worried or do most teeners run this hot in this type of weather? I wouldn't expect it to behave like a water-cooler but is it running TOO hot? |

The mechanic who passed the car wrote the following notes:
QUOTE Labor -- Check emissions, failed at idle. Too rich, HC near limit. Try to adjust press. sensor and ECU. R+R press. sensor and try to adjust again, won't respond properly. Adjust timing, was at 27' at an idle. Should be at 29' at 3500RPM. Reinstall original press. sensor and adjust. 2.2% CO and 130 HC at an idle. 5.0% CO at 2500 RPM same HC. Maybe these will help you out. Give you some more insight than I can. Again, I really appreciate the help. Hearing that some folks can run all day long around 1/2 way, makes me worry a little bit. |
