I am trading my jeep for a '74 914. Its in rough condition, but i noticed there is still a lot of good metal on it. The battery tray is good, the firewall is good, and the body seems pretty solid despite the small rust holes is has is a few places.
On the test drive, it broke down. One problem i found was when going from a start, it almost seemed like it bogged down a lot more then even my 40 horse bug. Then one time, it just decided to not work, and die. We got it off the road, and put some gas in it, but that wasn't the problem. The other guy went back there, and decided to take off a plugged vacuum line that was on the intake manifold to plug up the hole. It started right up, and i drove it back. He said something about the shop he took it to wiring up the fuel pump directly to the battery (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) My questions are, How can i fix this problem, and what are the other general maintenance procedures that go into these engines? It has the 1.8 engine. Like i said earlier, i am also into vw bugs, so i know the vw type 1 engine pretty good, but i don't know a FI type 4. Thanks! Chris |
