Greetings and HELP
Purchased a 1974 914, 1.8L FI. This Porsche has not been started in 24 years. So I have... Replace the tank Replace every fuel line Replace fuel pump Rebuilt injectors New Spark Plugs Replace all vacuum lines New Cap & points New spark plug wires checked for spark (got it) Check fuel pump function (OK) Checked for vacuum leaks (none found) Checked AFM (made lean, the changed back to orig. setting) So my problem. The engine starts for only a moment, say about NMT 10 seconds then dies out. Upon cranking the starter I am getting a lot of raw gas in the exhaust system, so much its spitting out the pipes. I collect about 3-4 ounces is a catch tray. Could I have the fuel tank lines reversed? So what am I doing wrong or what is wrong. Thanks in advance. |

L=Jet ? If my L-Jet AFM is not connected to that 7-pin plug, the engine will run for about 5 seconds and then die too.
I would recommend testing the AFM, either directly, or by exchanging it out; then I would look at the connections at the seal relay. Lastly, test those smaller vac hoses, I have found they can become brittle and look good, but actually leak. Once a broken T in a hose line created an air leak. |
