We removed and cleaned the fuel tank in my son's new to him 914. Also changed the fuel lines to stainless steel. Other than setting valves, nothing mechanical or electrical was done. Ran fine when parked a month ago.
He tried to start the car and nothing. I'm suspecting fuel, but I am new to fuel injection and don't know where to start, except to see that fuel is reaching the fuel pump. (I'm a webers on 912 guy) Does the injection system have to be bled when it has been reduced to bone dry empty like this? How is that done? A search of the threads has turned up nothing. This will be tomorrow's project. Thanks- Rob |

I agree, no bleeding required. Which FI is this? 914's stock FI was either D-Jet (1.7 and 2.0 liter cars) or L-Jet (1.8). While they are very similar in many ways, there are unique aspects to each that need to be understood. It can also help us help you troubleshoot.
FI is not hard to understand and it works great -- but all the little pieces need to be there and working properly. Sometimes that is hard on a 45+ year old car. |
