Hi all,
We just drove our 914 to Road America after 2 years of incremental work. Over the past year it has started perfectly, and it did the drive perfectly. It has a new starter that has been working great. We parked for registration, and when we got back to the car it would not crank. Fuel pump is running, electrical is working, but the car is not cranking or starting on a bump start. Any ideas? I checked the relays and relay board connections. Currently waiting on a tow. |

Seems like everyone has glossed over the fact that it would not bump start?
Don’t know details. Was car rolling fast enough? Did it sputter but not catch and old geezers (like me) got tired pushing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) The failure to crank and its failure to get root cause solution is so well documented it’s almost ridiculous. Failure to crank and failure to bump start . . . Less so. Where is fuel pump located and was it vapor locked simultaneously? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
