I decided to drive the 914 this morning. Not sure if the weather had anything to do with this, but it is about 25 *F. Car is in the garage, so I might be a bit warmer.
I have put about 25K miles on the completely re-built car in 3 years with very few issues. But this morning I heard a muffled back-fire at start-up. But the car started. It idled a bit high, but I let it warm up. The car died in the street as I shifted to 1st. I could hear the fuel pump running after the car died. It restarted fine, but would not rev. I finally got it to respond to the throttle and I put it back in the garage. Since the fuel pump was running I was afraid the AFM was stuck. And it was. It now takes a good bit of force to push open the AFM flap and I hear a BIG squeak. Like the flap is rubbing on the box. The AFM flap stops moving when I stop pushing and have to push it back from the other direction. Can this be repaired? Clark |
