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.

Dr Evil and I PMed a little about getting me some used injectors from his stash. After things seemed settled with our plan, I went out to my garage and decided that since I had replacements lined up I didn't have anything to loose if I damaged the little buggers. I pulled one out of the injector cleaner that I had it soaking in and, using the hose end like a whip, I beat it against the wooden edge of my workbench. Applied some air pressure and after a couple shots of electrons, it sprayed. I followed suit on the other two who were a little more reluctant to see things my way but eventually they came around to see the light. I don't know how they got stuck or what could have gummed them up after being cleaned, but I am happy that I can move forward now.
swl, I have purged my lines and I have inspected the screens, and found no gunk of any size. Your advise on the pressure flowing through the injectors, and the approx. voltage I should use was a helpful starting place. Dr.Evil, thanks for all of your help in many ways, and I hope I will be able to return the favor someday for all of you here that lend a hand to others.
