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.

You said that it sat for a few years, this prolly won't help your problem but you should replace the fuel lines in the engine compartment for safety sake. Also replace the vacuum hoses as well.
As vsg914 said give us some more detail on the problem. And Welcome to the club! Sean |
