Bought a new to me 914 in April and had issues ever since. Current one is it is very hard to start, my mechanic is using starter fluid to get it going. Cold start valve is disconnected and no wiring to support it, won't stay running without keeping the gas peddle pushed some, etc. He recommends changing to carbs, and with the limited paperwork I got with the car, the mechanic that rebuilt the engine from 1.8 to 2.2L recommended the same. What do you guys recommend, parts for the FI are much more than dual carbs and then I'll have to pay for all the troubleshooting with the FI.
If you recommend carbs, where is the best place to buy and what would you recommend for the modified 2.2L? Thanks, I need the help! Rick |

IDK, I'd keep the FI were it me. That seems to be the majority case.
Add it up, new harness - clean up the injectors (if needed) or drop the motor, replace the cam, add carbs.. Seems like you like the motor - (another option would be just to rebuild / replace it).. IMHO, I think you need to take the majority vote here and repair the FI... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif) |
