Hello,
I don't drive my 914 all that often because it has a low oil pressure issue I'd like to have resolved before driving it, but I usually take it out about once a month to bring it up to temp. and then back down. When I took it out today, the car was virtually undriveable which was strange to me because it's always ran decently when I take it out. Honestly I don't know much about the FI or spark system, and this time I took the car out, it ran very poorly. I was wondering if you guys had a list of several things I should check initially. Symptoms: Does not idle when cold without feathering the throttle Sputters heavily when reving while standing still. Lurches severely under load. -'Chung |

Hey Rob,
Things are going well . . . house is getting pretty darn close to done which would let me turn my attentions to the 914. But for now, I just want to maintain the car to the condition it was in when I got it. Wish it could live inside, but i have it under a cover all the time, and that'll have to do for now until I get construction carnage out of the 1 car garage. Fuel may be old as well 1/4 tank. I'll take it to the station and fill 'er up. If moisture be the issue, I'll see if I can get it running decent and take it out for a couple hours. Howz school going? and kids and family? -'Chung |
