QUOTE(lvnzdrm @ Sep 3 2018, 02:57 PM)  OK... looking for some help, I spent the weekend sorting out the car, trans is all sealed up, vacuum leaks all sorted. I am still having an issue with power. It starts and runs, but the idle is low and very un responsive. I'm convinced it something simple. Any one here sorted out a 1.7 FI, I checked all grounds and connections in the harness. I am going to check the valves tomorrow evening, I was thinking maybe the FI triggers points might be acting up. also replaced the throttle cable is there an adjustment for wide open? Thinking maybe the Throttle Switch is set up correctly. I am available all the time, down to the wire to make this work, really want to make the trip in the 914. Thanks in advance and I look forward to all input. Ok so not the bet time to chase gremlins. But attached are a few documents to help. First review the Trouble_shoot_D_Jet.pdf document and rule out as many as you can. then look at the file DJetronic.pdf and check the information I have highlighted starting on page 7. Next read through the file D_Jet_Man.pdf to research the ones you have questions about. The document is not laid out well but lots of good information. 
Trouble_shoot_D_Jet.pdf ( 260.47k )
Number of downloads: 52
DJetronic.pdf ( 353.31k )
Number of downloads: 91
D_Jet_Man.pdf ( 48.54k )
Number of downloads: 202Most important test is to verify fuel pressure is sufficient. Not sure what you have done to the car but in replacing the fuel filter once I had a similar problem and it turned out to be a pinched fuel line. Keep us posted. |

Losing my mind... Group: Members Posts: 2,476 Joined: 26-May 06 From: Charlotte, NC Member No.: 6,073 Region Association: South East States |
We are less than a week away!! At this point, everything is set in stone...maybe sandstone, but stone nonetheless!!
Trophies are done (kinda) shirts are HOPEFULLY done (Steven?) Meals are ordered. Routes are finalized (assuming no hurricanes, house fires, gov't shut downs, etc.) Huey actually started yesterday for the first time in months, so hopefully no issues (guess I should check) Headed to Carolina Motorsports Park for a Drivers Ed - both driving (Papa Smurf) and selling stuff as a vendor. Busy last/upcoming few weeks!! I will be sending out a final update next week to all the registrants about reminders of what/where/when. See you all next Thursday night! |

Just found out this evening that the trailer has a bent front axle. So I have to go change it in the rain tomorrow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
But it will be done in time for departure on Wednesday morning. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |

Finally got it cranked and cleaned up after the cross-country move. Noticed the speedo doesn’t work anymore and there’s a slight clacking noise at WOT, but otherwise seems to be running fine. Hoping it’ll make the 4 hr drive next week.

There should be a thread called what am I doing to get ready for the next event.
I put the rain tray on the grill today and tossed and some beach towels to catch the drip from the roof seals. because it looks like rain is in the forecast |

It ahould be fine, hope to see you all in a frw days, the storm is forecast to be right off the coast of the carolinas by Thursday, so we will see. might have to bug out wednesday, they are predicting an evac by tuesday or wednesday at latest and since i work at a navy hospital i will have to be tied in to what ever they say to do. |

I was able to get the work done between rain showers, but when we drove to the trailer parts place, I got soaked trying to load the axle in a monsoon. We also had to take the long way home due to a wreck on the freeway close to the trailer parts place. Also got the wheels back on Elwood, after Betty cleaned and waxed them. Got both cars vacuumed out, and I also tore apart our dryer and fixed it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) A spun bearing would cause a dull thud in the engine when running. For the flywheel to hit the bell housing would take a lot of travel, and it would lock up due to the rod journals hitting something in the case. |

Well it did not lock up but chunks of bearing in sump. Dropped it out a stripped it down. I have a rebuilt 1.7 of unknown quality but just can’t see me getting it in before Thursday and driving it. Looks like I will be having beer at the Hotel

Hopefully hurricane Florence stays away from the East coast or we'll be drinking beer at home or in a hotel room.
