Dear 914ers,

I'm quite in a pickle with my 914 1.7.

The engine sometimes starts sometimes not (usually after it started, ran 5-10 seconds and then stopped and I couldn't manage to start it again).
Messing arround in the engine compartment I accidentally unplugged the cyl 4 fuel injector and surprise the engine started and idled low. Tried again one, two, three times and he started succesfully, but as soon as I plug back the cyl 4 injector cable does not want to start again...

What's wrong here? (the injector not, because I've swapped 3 with 4 and I still had the same problem). According to the attached current flow cyl 4 injector is in series with the cold start valve and the thermoswitch for the cold start valve.. Am I looking at the right diagram? I also don't know where current track 102 comes from.


Also very interesting is that I removed the injectors 3 and 4 and placed them in two cups to see if they work, and I could start the engine in two cylinders (although the cyl 4 injector plug was connected)

Cheers,
Bogdan
