Hey guys I am new to the form, but i purchased a 914 about a month back. Its a clean Porsche with 24k miles on it, and it shows. But it has absolutely no power when it comes to hills, first gear or just period. barely makes it out of my driveway in reverse and it is not that steep. It has the 1.7L and i would like to get some more power out of it but not change it from original. Thanks to my county i don't have to smog it so that's not a problem but it was smogged by the original owner. Anyways its registered as a classic vehicle and only has one dent! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) anyways Let me know what you think and If any one can help with the lack of power i would greatly appreciate it

As others have posted. These cars need all the vacuum hoses connected properly, Check all the wire harness connections specially at the injectors. The wiring get brittle and sometimes breaks causing mystery issues. The most important thing you can do for the long life of the car is replace the plastic fuel line in the tunnel with stainless lines.
Chris Foley will fix you up with a set of lines. http://www.tangerineracing.com/ I really like the turtle backs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
