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 am now realizing how simple that is... are they supposed to be loose like that or are they supposed to clip in

I am now realizing how simple that is... are they supposed to be loose like that or are they supposed to clip in Sorry, I missed this question.The injector connectors (as well as all of the other electrical connectors in the engine bay) have/had rubber boots that stretch and pull over the body of the device connection(s) to keep them secured and somewhat water tight. Replacement boots are as rare as hen's teeth, but do show up from time to time. If you run across some decent ones in a bone-yard car, grab 'em. The best method is to remove the pins from the connector bodies and pull the boots off the wire. This will help to keep you from destroying the boots in the process (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Your other option is more expensive, but worth the price if you plan to keep the car for a long time.
