Hello all,

So, a new fuel pump, double relay, computer, and other stuff, I finally got my 914 running. I replaced the throttle valve switch with another I just happened to have around, and it started up. But, it died a few minutes later when I moved some wires. AH HAAA! I thought, a bad ground. I found the bad ground in terminal 85 of the double relay. (I had suspected it prior.) I spliced the wire just outside the relay box and wired in a small jumper cable, but also wired the original back together. I connected the jumper to a ground, (metal portion of the vehicle) and the car roared to life again! Here's where it gets weird. I followed the original ground wire to one of the three ground wires located on the passenger side, below the intake. I disconnected it and the motor died. I reconnected it, and it lived. Then I disconnected the jumper, and it died. I reconnected it, and it lived. In short, both grounds need to be connected in order for the engine to run. I tested the original wire with an ohm meter it tested good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Any ideas on what's wrong here? Also, the engine wants to die when I push the throttle only a little bit. If I push it far enough, it kicks in and then I can slowly bring it back down again. The motor also idles rough. Is there a way to fine tune the idle? You guys have been a great help so far, keep the ideas comming!
