Another new guy question, diagnosing a rough running engine Options

[A Havland]

Hello all. Finally saved up enough to get a 914. It's a 1974 2.0 in silver. I am working through a few issues. When I first got the car home it was hard to start so I did a valve adjustment and now it starts right up. The next hiccup is the engine runs very rough just above idle until it is completely warmed up. I checked the AAR valve and it seems to open when the car is cold. I took out the air sensor and it passed the olms and vacuum test. Replaced the plugs but the old ones looked good. Light grey in color. I could use some help if anyone knows where the two wires in the white connector goes. This is all new to me and the learning curve is steep (at least in the beginning). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Not sure why no one has replied to this thread yet. Bumping back to the top.

Very had to tell from your picture.

All white wires with no tracer color are associated the fuel injection and the ECU. That is for 100% for sure.

I’ve got to be honest, I’m not sure what that connector is just based on the two wires and the connector shape. The fact that your engine is running is also throwing me as well as its location. I’m going to throw a wild ass guess out there - mis routed wire from the cold start injector (and missing the rubber boot)? Honestly I don’t know.

Need some of the other D-jet experts to chime in and help the new guy!

Note; that exposed vacuum port off the distributor vacuum advance line ought to have a line on it - even if it’s just the one that goes to atmosphere - need to keep water out of that canister.

@jeffbowlsby - can you post a link to your vacuum hose diagram and take a look at that connector?
