Ok, here it goes. I bought a 914 1970, EU 1.7 D-jetronic. Off course it didn't run. I did some work on the car & engine -> other topic
But I don't get it to run smoot. I'm not an idiot with these engines, now how they love to have no vacuum leaks, valve adjustment etc etc. I've read a whole lot of bowlsby pages and every other article I could find on the net. But she just doesn't run smooth. What I know for sure: - valves / adjustment / compression -> OK - trigger points and adjustment -> OK - wiring -> OK - injectors checked -> OK - tried different Ecu's -> no difference - tried different MPS -> no difference What doesn't work: She starts, but I've the feeling that she runs on 2.5 cilinders. Lack of power except, sometimes around 2000rpm, she flys Sometimes she runs good, and all of a sudden, crappy. Where to start? Anyone nows these symptoms? And NO I don't want a carb!!!!! |

Tnx for all the good tips guys!
Problem solved: the trigger points in the distributor, one side worked, the other didn't, maybe at higher revs sometimes. Time for new ones (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) cleaned them, installed the bracket and *&%*(% Yeah -> smooth testdrive. About the spark plugs, I'll order the correct ones! I thought as VW man, that they run on the same as the VW's...... W8CC Grtz from the Netherlands |
