hello 914 community
so I was driving the other Sunday - nice drive with no traffic due to covid, doing 80 on the 405 heading south, for those of you that don't live in LA, that is in LA ;-) and then all of a sudden I just lost power. it sounded like I ran out of gas but that of course is impossible as the tank was 1/2 full. I have a 73, 1.7 fuel injected engine and I have never had this issue. I suppose I can tow the car to a garage but I thought I might put this out there in case this sounds familiar to anyone and I could try to troubleshoot the issue first. is there anything I can check rather easily to solve this? has this happened to anyone else under these conditions? I looked all around the top of the engine as best I could when it happened and I didn't see anything disconcerted or otherwise out of place - but then again I don't really know what I was looking for and it was hot so I really could feel around that much. -jp- |

ok so here is the latest with my drama:
#1 as I stated I replace the fuel relay, didn't solve the issue #2 a friend of mine helped me replace the fuel pump in my 2001 chevy - took him all of 2 hours to drop the tank and swap out the pump and put it all back together. since he was so proficient at that I reasoned why not get him to trouble shoot the 914. this is what we found. for sure it is getting spark - btw I purchased some new plugs and I also purchased a new battery - figured it could not hurt. so now that the relay not the issue I am guessing the next thing to eliminate is the fuel pump? right? I guess I should just order one from pelican and get it in there with a new filter and at the very least I have a new fuel pump - not that expensive of a part. if the car starts I know that was issue and if not then I can move on to another part of the chain. what are your thoughts ??? maybe I just check the fuel filter fist - see if it is clogged ??? -jp- gotta get this baby running - the weather is perfect to drive it now.... |
