My 914 still doesn’t start regularly. I turn the key and every time I heir the buzz my guess is the D-Jet fuel pumping and then it might start or nothing happens. Once it starts cranking it will start just fine. Here is a list of what I’ve done. What am I missing??? What could be wrong?

New battery
Clean the connections on the battery
New ends on the positive wires to the battery
New ignition switch
Clean and replaced connections on the starter solenoid
Cleaned ground strap connections from tranny to trunk
