First of all forgive my lack of knowledge. I am not new to cars but I am new to 914s. I recently purchased a 1970 914 1.7L. with D. Jet. The previous owner noted that it ran last year but was not able to get running this year. The car is far from perfect but I hope to be a solid start for a EJ20 swap in the next year or so. I would love to get the 1.7 fired up to start taking care of of other issues I am not currently aware of.
So let me start discribing what I am seeing Good Battery- Cranks over good and for a long time if needed Fuel Pump- working well but does not shut off after 1-2 seconds. New plugs New wires New cap and rotor I check the fuel rail and I know I have fuel to the injectors. I am able to fire the car up with starter fluid but ofcourse dies when it is burned off. I have had it runnig several times but is not consistant. I have check the grounds to the batter as well as the injector grounds. I don't know where to go next. Any advice would be appreciated. As you explain your suggestion please don't use abbrevations as I am not framilar with them all yet. Thanks -lance |

I hooked a 9v battery up to the injectors to see if they made a clicking noise. You need 3 hands to do it, though! Put the injector (gently) in a vise and use your two hands to attach the wires.
I made a pressure gauge out of some tubing (fuel line at FLAPS*), small hose clamps and a pressure gauge to test fuel pressure (I think it was about $15 for the whole thing). I think it's supposed to be 29 psi on a 1.7. I also recommend Mr. Injector. He's inexpensive and quick. When my trigger points (not to be confused with the "points"-the "trigger points" are housed below the distributor cap) went bad, the car bucked like a bronco. It would turn over, but not start. I think you can check for continuity with a multi-meter. I'm not sure if these can be fixed or if you have to buy new or working used ones. Mine didn't look bad; they just didn't work.
