I was referred here because I was told you guys are a very helpful Bunch so I have a question if you don't mind. Please forgive me I know this is probably been asked before but I can't not find it. I have a 1974 914 1.8. I recently put a new coil in yet I still have no spark if not extremely low amount of spark due to that obviously the car will not start. It cranks perfectly but I have no spark can anybody help me?

You mentioned the spark might be weak? Might just be the method you are checking it. Do you hear the fuel pump running? If the car has been sitting your AFM might be sticking. There is a flap (forgot the technical name) that opens as the engine sucks air in. When it opens it turns on the fuel pump. If it’s stuck closed...fuel pump won’t turn on. Easiest way to check is take off the air filter and push open the flap you’ll see. Had this same problem when I had a 1.8l motor in mine.
Also check the rubber connector between afm and intake plenum...where it bends is prone to cracks that are not always visible and inhibits it’s ability to run if it’s a big enough crack. Note: I assume you still have the ljet FI in the car. |
