I'm looking at a 72 1.7 914, and was hoping to get some info from you guys. The owner said that it had a leaky fuel injector. The car starts and drives, but smells like gas, and is really lacking in power.
Looking in the engine, the driver side has two knobby things (I'm guessing they're the injectors), and there's a puddle of gas under them. Any idea what it would cost to replace these injectors? I'm pretty good with a wrench, but would it take any special equipment? |

Get a Haynes Manual, it's pretty good and fairly cheap. Shop around or you can get it online at pelican Parts
Before you replace the injector check the fuel lines to them. They get old and cracked. FI hose is kind of expensive but cheaper than injectors. Dave |
