914 Fuel Injection, Need an L-Jet Guru!! Options

[Cjllong]

I have a 75 914 with a 2.0 motor. It originally had a 1.8L, but I acquired a 2.0 from a wrecked 73 914. When the 2.0 was rebuilt and installed, the mechanic installed the 1.8L fuel injection system and told me it was superior to the 2.0L fuel injection system. I drove the car for 2 years and never had a problem. All of the sudden, the car wouldn't start. I took it to a local German auto mechanic, (The guy who originally did the conversion left town), and he said he would fix it. Well.... A new fuel pump, plugs, other stuff, and the big one.. a new computer, the darn thing still has the same symptoms. It simply dumps fuel into the valves when starting, causing it to flood almost instantly. He checked the fuel pressure regulator and it seems to be fine. He's telling me that the computer is holding the injectors open too long, causing excessive fuel to flood the motor. $1300.00 later, he says he'll do the rest of the diagnosis for free. I think I payed for his education of the 914 fuel injection system, and I don't think he learned anything. I originaly posted this problem on Pelican Parts and they directed me here and told me to look for Clay Perrine. If your out there, please help me! I'm desperate!

I take issue with the statement "rarely ever go out"........ They NEVER go out. Unless you maybe jump start with the cables on the wrong terminals, and maybe not even then .....................

Problem areas:
Air flow meter
State of tune, including the ever important valve adjustment.
Vacuum leaks, vc gaskets, oil filler (TWO seals, and the cork base gasket), intale manifolds at heads, and the 4 hoses on the runners
Grounds
Miswired TTS and/or CSV
Bad wiring harness
Charging voltage
