I pulled my 76 2.0 stock fuel injection engine a few months back so that I could plug up some oil leaks. Other than the leaks, the engine was running O.K. Well, as O.K. as I could tell after a couple of weeks of owning my first 914. I put the engine back in just a couple weekends ago and have slowly been trying to get her going again. For a couple of days I could only get her to spin with the starter, but I wasn't getting any fuel.....I figured out today that I hadn't connected the wiring harness to the distributor. Now that I have it connected I cranked her over and I am now firing on just the #3 cylinder. I also don't smell and raw fuel coming out of the exhaust. And when I open the throttle, she seems to power up a little bit, but not much.
major points 76 2.0L D-Jet rebuilt/cleaned injectors from cruzin performance new large and small injector rubber new vacc. hoses all around just had it tuned up before I needed to pull the engine and I didn't screw with the ignition system at all. I hear no clicking when I move the throttle switch (thought I was supposed to hear the injectors clicking) If there are any other bits of info that will help in the trouble shooting process please let me know.

OK! Some progress has been made in the diagnostic process. I switched the injectors around to other cylinders on the engine. The injector that was in my #3 cylinder is now in the #1 cylinder and now I am (when it does run) just running on the #1 cylinder. I know this because as I go around the running engine pulling the injector wires the engine keeps sputtering on except for when I pull the wires on the #1 cylinder at which point the engine dies. So I guess this points to my injectors being stuck. I just sent them out for cleaning and servicing from Cruzin Performance. And I kept them bagged until I was ready to install them. They did sit in their bags for a few months because I was moving into a new house, but I don't know why that would have caused a problem.
ANY ANY ANY thing else that I should do/try to test the injectors individually, please let me know. I am at the thread bare end of my sanity. I heard about the guy that used a shot gun to remove a stubborn lug nut. I am about ready to see if his technique will work to fix my FI system. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) |
