Ok guys, not sure what to do.
Recent acquisition of a '76 912E #483. As most of you know, it is powered by a 914 2.0 with Ljet induction. Motor runs well, but idles high and runs warmer than expected, so I am thinking vacuum leak. Of course will go through ignition first, since 90% of FI problems are ignition. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Chased FI problems on my 1.7 djet for a couple years before I gave up and put on some EMPIs. Been running awesome for years now! So.... Thinking of spending a couple of hours tuning the ljet and replacing all vac lines, but also thinking of just taking the plunge and putting on some EMPIs. Thoughts ? Don't care about resale; car is going in dd rotation and will get DRIVEN!! |

Congrats on the 912E. There are so few of them out there and even fewer with the L-Jet still installed, I encourage you to try and salvage it.
I have a number of friends who have fought battles with their Es and won. As an additional resource, if you have not done so already, go over to 912bbs.org and post on the 912E Tech Help BBS. The guys there are great and can help with some of the quirks that are 912E specific! Best of luck! I loved my 912E! |
