Ok guys, not sure what to do.
Recent acquisition of a '76 912E #483. As most of you know, it is powered by a 914 2.0 with Ljet induction. Motor runs well, but idles high and runs warmer than expected, so I am thinking vacuum leak. Of course will go through ignition first, since 90% of FI problems are ignition. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Chased FI problems on my 1.7 djet for a couple years before I gave up and put on some EMPIs. Been running awesome for years now! So.... Thinking of spending a couple of hours tuning the ljet and replacing all vac lines, but also thinking of just taking the plunge and putting on some EMPIs. Thoughts ? Don't care about resale; car is going in dd rotation and will get DRIVEN!! |

Thanks Morrie!
Definitely on #1, checked several times. Really surprised the car ran as well as it did. Be curious to see what happens when I time properly. Thinking Mr. Towle nailed it; lots of advance to mask vac leaks. Might be needing a smoke tester! |
