Oh my gosh!!!! She is back to doing this same thing all over again. I finally got her running . She ran fine one evening, parked her. Next day she would not start. No power to the injectors. I got spark. I got gas in the lines. Fuel pump works like it should. I took the distributor out and cleaned the trigger points to see if that would help. All wires are connected. MPS connected. All vacuum lines connected. I bought a noid light set up and they are definitely not getting power.
What else could it be? Something on the relay board? Bad relay? This car is driving me insane. I am about to go duel carbs and drop this piece of **** fuel injection if I can't get this thing running. |

I decided I am finished with fuel injection. I don't trust it and not dropping anymore into it. Converting to carbs.

QUOTE(surfdogskier @ Oct 11 2019, 10:38 AM)  I decided I am finished with fuel injection. I don't trust it and not dropping anymore into it. Converting to carbs. You will hate the carbs even more. Poor mileage, gas smell, etc. And you have a lot of fabrication to get the throttle hooked up. And lots of patience to get them synced and running correctly. I would suggest finding a local 914 guru (there are a lot of them on here) that is willing to help you sort the injection before you bail and switch to carbs. |

I can't imagine hating anything worse than this. I have dropped a lot of money in this thing to get it running. My friend has one with carbs and he loves it. This has been a project over the past year. Mileage and smell don't bother me. I'm a diesel guy so I am use to that. It's to the point you jump in the car and wonder will it start and if it does for how long. To many variables to worry with. I not in it for keeping things original and stuff. She is being created as a fun car to just scat around in in the summer primarily. |
