So I got this '74 2.0 and I got a few issues with it but I'm not sure if its just me or its suppose to be like this. I guess what I'd like to do is get a post purchase PPI so I can prioritize my list of things to fix first. Here is the list of things so far:
1. Starter system - cranks slow and sometimes not at all. Pulled the battery and had it load tested okay. Cleaned the ground at the battery and where it ties to the chassis above the HH. Cleaned the hot side of the battery cables as well and still same problem. Next, I guess is the trans/chassis ground, alternator light on when key is turned to "accy" and off when running. Seems its charging when I get it running since it hasn't gone dead. 2. FI - I get a bucking at ~2.8KRPM and when I come off the pedal as well at varius RPMs. 3. Suspension - pretty hard ride, front and rear sway bars (stock) and pretty sure it needs rear springs. What about the shocks? Looks like Bils in the back and Boge up front. Anyway, sure could use someone elses experience to take a look. Been lurking here on and off for several years, finally broke down and bought a car. Here it is. Attached image(s) |

Someone had a great website on the d-jet and diagnosing problems. Wish I could find that now, I think it described possible sources for the bucking.
This car is a weekend driver, so I'd like to get a "softer" ride out of it. Haven't been bitten by the AX/DE bug yet but you never know. I know for sure I need rear springs, as others here have pointed out. Back end seems to be sagging. |
