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

I was going to suggest checking out your FI connections. When I bought my car it was the same situation. It started right up but just kind of chugged along driving down the road and seemed not all cylinders were firing. I pulled over and started checking wires etc.. One of the wires going to the the fuel injector was loose. I pushed it in all the way and the car started running great!
As for getting a vacume hose kit, you can buy those from Automobile Atlanta. I bought a kit for my car and it has all the hoses that are precut and it came with instructions and hose diagrams. I believe that hose kit was around $75.00 and totally worth every cent. |
