Might be a good idea to flush the system if the filter had crap in it. They don't trap everything. Did you clean your tank and replace all the lines???? Make sure all that is done or you'll be back to square one before long. Good luck glad you got it going (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I thought I was going to bring my car home today so I was going to mess with the fuel pump but I have to wait tell tomarrow cause my dad couldn't get work off to come tow it. I wen't back over there to let it run ,my mechanic said that its squirts out air instead of gas when there is plenty of gas in the tank cause he even added his own. He also said something about the pump seighting up when the car was on. I have already replace all the fuel lines when I first got the car. I also let all the gas drain out of the tank, I didn't see anything but pure gas coming out. So Im going tp replace the fuel filter and see if that does anything if not then I know its my pump. Also my real name is Kristopher Larson

This is the happest day of my life I got my 914 home (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif). Haha my problem with my fuel pump was my fuel tank rubber supports. I forgot to put them back in so the fuel tank was smashing one of the fuel lines which was blocking it off. I also change the fuel filter for the heck of it and found a twig inside of it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) But now my car starts on the first crank and goes straight to a nice smooth idle. I took it for a test drive. But I only wen't up to 20 mhp in first gear then went to 3rd sence my 2nd gear is broken but I had no power at all in 3rd gear. If gint will be able to make it down then I will let him take it for a test run so he can decied what else is wrong with it. But once again thanks for all the support. My bill was only $130.00 instead of $600. Im just hoping I don't need a new clutch or anything now.

Congrats (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

If the clutch works in first, it probably is ok. No shuddering or wierd noises?

If it's just the second gear you might have to spend what you just saved by not going to the carbs in parts. I remember a thread about the price of those (gears & syncros) going up lots in the last little while.

The reason it dies when you try to take off in third is because it geared that way. Normal opperations. You can't jump over a gear without the car lagging. You can start off in second, but you don't have that option (yet).

Well great haha my my 914 is not starting again. <_< I had it running perfect for about 45 mins in my drive way I wen't out shut it off and put the fuel tank back in its spot. Then boom the car won't start again its like the fuel injecters arn't getting any pluse again. So I pulled the tank out again but still no go. The mechanic said that the altitude sensor is very touch but I didn't even mess with that. So Im back on step one. Im going to mess around with it tomarrow.

Kristopher,
You will work this out, but please don't put BOOM in any more of your posts; especially fuel oriented ones. Man I almost had a heart attack.
These little cars are as combustible as they are rustible. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

OMG I just had the funnest time in my life just driving up the street in first gear with out any problems. It seems like my reverse has more power then my first gear. But I love my porsche so much now I can drive it. Trust come down to St. George its worth the drive. Make sure to have (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) your top off at night and drive around. Cause its probley about 70 degrees outside which is warm and its night time its a blast I can't weight tell I can drive it to school. Also I tryed my heater and it worked haha my first car with a working heater.

Altitude sensor??? Huh? The MPS has that built in to it so there isn't one unless its something I have never heard of.
In the pic its the funny round thing with the 57 on it.

excellent. you saved much dough. if you are fairly sure it's the mps, buy a recalibrated one from geoff. his prices are right. you'll be stylin' in the school parking lot before you know it. don't let the really hot girl drive your car when she/they ask (and they will). i'll read the other post now.
