Have had my 914 for a couple of weeks now. It's a stock 1.7. It's in the garage getting a few little details taken care of but I need your collective wisdom. The car starts at the touch of the key. It idles at about 2 grand and once its' warm and I drive off it surges all the time. The car has sat for quite a while so I put fresh gas in and some gas dryer. The PO says it ran ok a couple of years ago. He had 18 cars and probably didn't pay much attention. I have been checking all the vacum hoses and they look ok but can't tell for sure if there are leaks.
Your Thoughts? Mike '72 adriatic blue 1.7 - my one and only |

Welcome to the club, Michael.
Idleing cold at 2K indicates the Auxiliary Air Regulator is working properly. Is the surging at idle only, or while you are driving also. I need a little more info on the surging. Can you explain it in a little further detail? Does it do ok when accelerating? Under a steady speed? PS, we love pics if ya got em. |
