914 runs great when it starts. Idles fine around 1200, but when it comes to starting her everyday, it's been getting a lot more difficult. When i got the ignition fixed a few months back, it fired up every time. Now it's getting back to where it used to be. I doubt it's the switch that has gone bad since it was replaced not to long ago. What else should i be focusing on? I have a multi-meter. When I let the car sit for a while, it wants to fire up right as i turn the key but doesn't have enough to start. As of today, i tried cranking for a good 15 minutes with no luck. It has never been this bad before. What do you guys suggest i do? I want to get back to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

make sure that you have power to the positive or 15 side of the coil when cranking

I'll check that now.
