Hi! I’m trying to get a 75 914 I recently purchased running again. The previous owner said the car ran fine years ago but believes an electrical problem sidelined it. I’ve taken care of the basics:
Drained & cleaned the fuel tank Replace fuel filter Replaced air filter Change oil New plugs & wires (forward driver side plug is a PITA!) Will change tranny fluid Prior owner left 3(!) Haynes manuals but I’m having trouble identifying a couple of unplugged items. What does this blue plug connect to? What does this semi-hard white tube connect to? Assume I should have a hose going into the air box (arrow)? Why do I have 2 ground connections going to the battery? Funny enough the car was in the garage of a house we ended up purchasing. Made an offer on the house and on a lark offered for the 914 plus a 72 914 parts car. I have a 91 VW Vanagon. Hated the VW engine so much I replaced it with a Subie engine and here I am back with a small VW engine...guess I’m a glutton for punishment! Attached thumbnail(s) |

The hard plastic hose in pic 2 goes to a fitting on the charcoal canister. Same for the fitting on the air filter housing in pic 3. There should be a fitting on the fan housing or engine tin for the third port on the charcoal canister.
The kinked red hose goes to the decel valve and shouldn't affect starting or running. That engine also has an EGR valve and was likely a California emissions car. Check the door jam or engine compartment label for the compliance statement. |
