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) |

BTW, mine had a starter relay installed by PO as well, which I promptly removed. The car did not come with a starter relay, and does not need one added. The solenoid functions as a relay for the starter. If PO installed a relay it's because he hacked instead of fixing the real problem. You just need a good clean power feed from the ignition switch to the solenoid (big yellow wire).
Bonus for me, cleaning up my mess also fixed a couple of other weird electrical problems I was having (including headlights not popping up). |
