Just since this last weekend, my 914 has been having trouble starting. It turns over and over but doesn't start. Two out of three times trying, I got it to start. The last time I noticed just before it finally started, I heard a buzzing sound come on. Normally I hear this buzzing sound coming from the front of the car when it is running. Is that noise coming from the fuel pump?
I have heard that some people relocate the fuel pump to the front trunk area. If that is the case with my car, would the fuel pump likely be underneath the tank? Just to make it clear. Normally I hear a buzzing noise coming from the front trunk / gas tank area. Recently I have been having trouble starting the car but just before it does the noise appears... which leads me to think it might be the fuel pump. I'm not much of a mechanic. I remember looking for the fuel pump a couple years ago and couldn't find it in the engine bay; this also leads me to believe it is up front somewhere. Thanks in advance. |

I appologize for not giving information my car. For some reason I thought my profile showed my car info but I was thinking of another forum.
It is a 1974 with the 1.8L. Dave, I found that dual relay. It wasn't attached to anything and was just laying on top of the engine. I unclipped the connectors and removed it. Visually it appears to be fine. I did notice 3 wires that weren't connected to anything, although it looks like they were cut, not broken. I'm not sure where they come from but the 3 are bundled together and then they run into another wire housing that contains other wires so I'm not sure where it leads to. I can't get it started at all anymore. Still no indication of the fuel pump running. I'm attaching a picture that shows the dual relay and the disconneted wires in the bottom left corner.
