Hi! I’m trying to get a 75 914 I recently purchased running again. The previous owner said the car ran fine years ago but believes an electrical problem sidelined it. I’ve taken care of the basics:
Drained & cleaned the fuel tank Replace fuel filter Replaced air filter Change oil New plugs & wires (forward driver side plug is a PITA!) Will change tranny fluid Prior owner left 3(!) Haynes manuals but I’m having trouble identifying a couple of unplugged items. What does this blue plug connect to? What does this semi-hard white tube connect to? Assume I should have a hose going into the air box (arrow)? Why do I have 2 ground connections going to the battery? Funny enough the car was in the garage of a house we ended up purchasing. Made an offer on the house and on a lark offered for the 914 plus a 72 914 parts car. I have a 91 VW Vanagon. Hated the VW engine so much I replaced it with a Subie engine and here I am back with a small VW engine...guess I’m a glutton for punishment! Attached thumbnail(s)

that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
That's not how that hooks up, the part on the left is the fuel pressure regulator.
Ljet fuel in goes to the 3/4 fuel rail then to the CSV, then to the fuel rail 1/2 side then the presurre regulator (that's bolted to the tin upright just past #1 and a hose across the back to the return line. Add to your list all new fuel hose 5/16" (close enough to 8mm), minimum rating SAE 30R9 FI hose. Since the CSV is part of the fuel line I wouldn't connect it till you have a better part. |

QUOTE(Mark Henry @ Apr 22 2021, 06:59 PM)  That's not how that hooks up, the part on the left is the fuel pressure regulator. And not the correct regulator for L-jet. That's a D-jet part. The L-jet regulator is not adjustable and has a small vacuum hose running to it. Yours should be in the left rear corner near cyl 1 |
