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 |

Kid is great! Being a Dad is cool. We picked up a 6 wheeler and have been frequenting campgrounds. I'm working on my Dad's 914 finally, but grad school will be around for at least another 3 years. I had to cut back to one class per qtr due to work.
Let me know when you knock off the dust on the '73. I still owe you a "rusty" "consider the source and discount heavily" autocross day. I'm glad to hear your house is going well. It will be nice to move in and tear at your cars for a change. Take care! R |
