I am begining to hate my engine, I cant figure out the problems, and more syptoms are starting to appear!!
For starters, I have had to replace the fuel pump fuse 2 times in the last two days.. Both times I was stranded in the road.. Luckly I had enough sense today to take one of the ones from a light. Next Im having power surges, asside from having almost no power.. I am still having a high idle problem and I still cant get the electronic ignition to work.. ARGG! |

FYI.
An old trick is to run the fuel pump wire off the hot side of the coil. The first 914 I owned was wired in ths manner ......why, you may ask? It seems that the fuel pump wire has been known to self destruct inside the BIG wire bundle. It runs off a 25 amp fuse in the relay board....exactly why this wire gets overloaded is a mystery to me. I found this in my 914 yard car. It had fried itself and a few neighbors. |
