Well we just got the 914 out of the shop and running right (When it started).
So I pull up in the driveway after driving my step mom around, showing her how good it finally runs, and I kill the engine going up the driveway (yes.. still learning the clutch) So I go start it up again, and I get nothing. Turn the key all the way and you can hear the fuel pump running, but nothing else goes. This happened before, but our *old* mechanic did some sort of start wiring 'relay' I believe he called it. Well now that seems to be a temporary fix 'cause it still won't start a day later. What gives? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) |

Yo
Check the wiring around the relay he put in, start at the battery and work your way forward. Might be as stupid as a wire falling off, or maybe a clutch jerk on a connector somewhere, bad part. Sorry man, I am a mechanic, so I would not always asume its shoddy work. Take a deep breath, and call the guy, see what he says. Happy your driving a 914 yet ??
