I have a stock 1972 914 that has been in the family since 1976. In that time it has always had an intermittent starting issue. When the car is shut off when it's hot or has just sat in the sun it win't start. It doesn't do it every time and It will turn over but won't start. Mt mother had the car in the 70s-90s and when she would come to visit It would do this in the sun so she got in the habit of parking it under a tree and would never have a starting problem. I have a suspicion it's the computer. Any thoughts? thanks.
