A little bit of experience and wisdom needed.
I’m new to 914 - so don’t know if this is normal for the 2.0 1976 engine. Engine runs perfectly. Great starter. Smooth and easily revs. Very happy. But I noticed when it’s ticking over - and I gently rest my foot on the throttle - and apply a tiny bit of pressure, the revs dip - and it almost wants to die. Apply more pressure or quick pressure, and it picks up perfectly. Any ideas on what might causing this? Or is it a characteristic of this engine and injection system? Very grateful for any thoughts. Thanks. Gary |

Eventful day.
Took off the TPS, got inside. Photo attached. It does not look to me to be the issue. Of course it still might - but contacts look pretty decent. Only 40k miles from new. I rechecked all vacuum lines. All good. Car runs like a dream. So smooth and balanced. The only tiny issue is on that featherlight throttle - revs dip. If I put normal throttle pressure, it’s fine. No hesitation or anything. I think I’ll let it pass, and go enjoy the car. Unless anyone has another thought or advice. Welcome any at all. Thanks. Gary Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |
