Hey, guys, I moved to Texas from Seattle a few years ago and my 914 has been in storage the entire time. I'm finally in a place in my life where I can pull it out and have fun with it again, but I don't know any of the local 914 guys. Whos here?

Awesome... I really need to hook up with some local guys. When I parked the car it would start with either, but run at like 4500 RPM and not idle. I think it is a vacuum problem, but I have no idea. I'm going to need help getting it fired up once I get a battery and the oil changed. I also need to drain the fuel and put a new filter in. I really have no clue why it was running weird, but I REALLY want to get it running again. I miss driving it and cant justify the body work it needs if it won't start. Hopefully, I can find some people to help?

Looks like you'll have to drive about 90 minutes west for related adventures in general. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) In regard to to fixing your car, you might need to trailer it to Dallas if you want a mechanic to look at it and sort the motor out - I understand that my not be the solution you were hoping for - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
