I had this problem shortly after I purchased my car in 2019 and I solved it with a new 2.0 914 Rubber TPS Circuit Board.
Fall 2022 I rebuild the motor to a 2056 with a mild Webcam 73 (D Jet compatable) and The Hesitation Is Back. So far I have accomplished the following using PB Anders articles and with the help of Bob D @bob164 who has logged numerous hours on this project. -Checked the resistance of the entire engine wiring harness repairing and improving resistance on several connections. Checked all grounds. No Hesitation Fix -Smoke tested the intake which found a leak at the Cold Start Valve, fixed. I still have a minor leak at the Throttle Body shaft and #1,2 Intake Manifold (replaced gasket and added sealant - needs resurfacing) No Hesitation Fix -Fuel Injectors were sent to Mr Injector for cleaning and flow test during the rebuild. -The Dizzy was disassembled-Trigger Points cleaned, Weights cleaned and lubed, Vacuum advance checked. No Fix, so I bought a 123 Blue Tooth Dizzy after reading about Trigger Points possibly being the problem. No Hesitation Fix -The CHT sensor is within the paramaters of PB Anders data. -The MPS checked out and did hold vacuum withing the leakdown parameters but it decided to quit holding vacuum so we rebuild it with a Tangerine Racing Kit and PB Anders data. No Hesitation Fix -The ECU 0 280 000 037 that came with the car was replaced with ECU 0 0280 000 044. I've read that ECU's rarely fail. No Hesitation Fix -TPS: All of the 914 World threads regaring this problem takes me back to the TPS and TPS Circuit. I now own 2 complete TPS's 0 280 120 032 and 4 circuit boards. I've tried all combinations including the 914 Rubber TPS Circuit Board and the Throttle Switch has always been set up per Ralph Ricks Instructions. I still have the Hesitation. When I disconnect the harness plug to the TPS The Hesitation Does Not Occur! The car has a little lag with the TPS harness unpluged but accelerates through all RPM's with out a problem. This test continues to lead me back to a bad or dirty TPS Board. I have cleaned and sprayed the boards and sweep fingers with electronic cleaner numerous times, perhaps the gold plated contact fingers are too warn but a continuity test as the fingers run over the track appears good. I have rechecked the TPS harness wires to the ECU and they check good. I do not want to continue buying parts that may not fix this problem, so at this point I'm Stumped! Should I buy another Board or complete TPS or go in another direction? This is a great group with a wealth of information what do you think? Thanks in advance, |

They have had Bluetooth for d-jet for a couple years now. Ok...and no vac advance? The static timing is done first. And if you don't use the vac advance then part load timing is not addressed and drivability and throttle response is compromised. The engine and a lower rpm range under part load needs advance timing so the engine somehow needs a mechanism to address the extra advance under part load. Since there is part load at different times the curve is dynamic and not static. Most driving done is under part load. How ya gonna do that without vac advance. Carbs have different jets under different vacuum signals but the OP doesnt have carbs. In fact..he's said he disconnected the TPS which provides enrichment per the position of the throttle plate....and it runs fine without it? So there's enough fuel...but what about the timing? Also..I'd dyno it to make sure the mixture is good and check all the other fuel systems and valve lash. The fact that it bogs when the TPS is plugged in could be a couple of things but I've already posted what that could be. Could be that the engine doesn't need any more fuel...and it's running too rich AND mistimed. |
