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

sounds like you are on the right track, as suggested you need to be vac leak free.
i had the same cutting in and out, sudden surges then missing, loss of power-it ended up being loose FI grounds- now you had one injector not connected, -they should fit pretty good, not loose but the boots that euro pointed out should be nice and tight, they will help hold the connector in and keep them clean and dry. but still re-check the FI grounds connections, and your transmission ground strap etc as wool also agree about the old brittle wires, i had similar issues and wanted to eliminate wiring as a source of issues, so i replaced mine with a newly refreshed wiring harness(FI and ignition harnesses) from Jeff Bowlsby. He tests them , makes sure every wire and connector is good. you can send him yours and he will go thru it too. did i say check the grounds?
