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.

Well everyone, I have to first of all say thanks for all of your input. When I started this process, I never expected the result to be three bad injectors. With all of the wiring problems I have encountered when working with older systems I figured I just had a bad ground or improperly connected set of wires.
I have been soaking the three bad injectors in cleaner for most of the day now and have tested all four with my compressor and an old 9v battery. the good injector clicks strong and sprays well (at least from my eyeball view) and the other three make no sound at all. Boy on the positive side I din't encounter any leaking. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) So, as of now, I am in the market for a set of injectors. I am looking into stock replacement injectors, but am also considering some other newer alternatives like the injectors from a MB 450SE, that I heard one of our other board members has had some early success with. Any other new alternative suggestions are appreciated. Again, Thanks! Jim |
