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) |

It should plug into something close by. 2nd/ pic, vacuum off the dizzy. 3rd not sure 4th WTF....obviously having ground issues addition to Mark’s response. 1. looks like cold start valve was bypass. white tube connected the fuel line instead passing the cold start valve. Wire plug is for the cold start valve. 2. check diagram (edited: ooopps! yup didn’t notice line coming from engine which is evap line) 3. charcoal canister line 4. additional extension from body ground could be all the way to the transmission? if yes, need good ground from top of tranny to rear trunk floor. |
