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.Attached Image

I would like to thanks to you guys who responded to my question. I apologize for my delayed response. I am located in Ventura County California and my area has had the power shut off for 3 days. Got power just before noon today. I live in the Sespe region of Ventura County and we are safe. The fire down in the Palisades is brutal. I have two friends who's home's are burnt to the foundation. Once again thanks for your input and I will start going through everyone's suggestions in a couple of days. Avery.
