As described! What is up with this situation? Engine runs beautiful when warmed up, will restart no problem if It has been shut off for even a few hours. Kudos to the battery and starter as I have tried to start it normally when it has been sitting for a few days, won't catch, thank goodness I live on a hill, coast down the hill a bit, put her in 3rd gear pop the clutch and vrooom! Have done this 6 times now!

Bit more info to help Ian out.
We (and another guru) couldn't get the D-jet to run worth a shit. I traded him straight up for my known good complete 1.8 914 L-jet system. So his system is all L-jet except for the 2.0 intake runners, all new seals. Ran perfect except for a minor point, in my 1.8 I never had to touch the gas to start the car, on his you always needed to give it one or two pumps, hot or cold. I just figured it was the cam. IIRC he has a web73 FI cam. O2 WB said the AFR was perfect as was the timing. Except for the two pump start it runs like a champ. Ian a new head temp sensor might help. The one I used, off the L-jet, is 8-9 years old but only had about a year of use. |

Not enough manifold vacuum due to leak or someone stiffened the spring too much? |
