I am having a problem with my '73 914 2.0. The car starts and drives fine until it is warmed up. One it gets warm the car will not idle properly. The RPM's go down to 100 or 200 and the car will eventually die out. If I turn it off, it will reluctantly start, but I have to keep the RPM's up or it dies. The car has the fuel pump in the front, I changed the head temp sensor that monitors the fuel injection. The car will run and drive fine as long as I keep the RPM's up.
Also, If I push down hard on the spark plug wire lead for cylinder #4 (passengers side of engine in the front) on the distributor cap, the idle goes back up. I checked all the wire on the spark plugs and on the distributor cap and they are firmly attached, as is the distributor cap as well. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jon |
