I bought a new Throtle body after EBS Racing said mine needed so much work (warped base, oval shaft holes and butterfly to body wear) that it would be $500 to fix my old one......
I too spent way too much $$$ replacing parts trying to get mine to run for more than 90 seconds after doing some upgrades to the FI and ignition. After 8 weeks and $$$$ I discover by accident that the Jacobs coil I bought from Performance Products needed an external 3ohm resistor (try finding THAT fact in their catalog!!!). I was melting points almost instantly; bought a Bosch Blue and car has run perfect since...... I converted my '69 911E to carbs from MFI when I rebuilt the engine to 'S' specs and it never did run as well as it did on the old worn-out MFI. |

I have replaced the relay several times, cleaned out the connectors and filled it with die electric gel.

Replacing the relay won't help if the relay BOARD is the problem, or the wiring to and from it. Jumper the pump. If the pump still dies, it's the pump. If it doesn't, it's not the pump, it's the wiring to it.

Well you did mention you wanted to sell it. What exactly do you have. My buddy has the hots for a 914 after driving mine like he stole it.
Cheap is good,.... rust is not. Interior is not important it will get gutted. Basically he wants to replicate mine. I wish him luck. Now that we have fixed your problem sell me your car. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) |
