helping someone else....

L-Jet injectors don't fire

points set correctly.

what would cause something like this to happen?

fuel pressure is there so evidentally it's not an issue of the power to the computer.

i'm trying to save another 914.

tell me what to check on.....i know 0 about L-jet...

L-jet injectors fire when key on, air flapper open, and coil collapses

first thing to check is the dual relay near the battery and the resistor pack........

electricity, namely 12vdc !!!!!

do a google search on L-Jet...there are some good websites that'll tell you what every single terminal does on the relay and the wiring harness.......

the resistor pack is easy to troubleshoot. just look for continuity for the 4 resistors, one for each injector: no broken/open wires. if you have a "Lash", the old clymer book (an old 914 manual, like the haynes), there is a nice pix of the dual relay. maybe you could test it to see if it works properly.

Quoting myself from a post over at the bird:

QUOTE
First check for battery voltage (12V+) at 88z (power from battery) then voltage at 86c (power from coil terminal 15) with the key on and make sure that terminal 85 goes to a good ground.

88a - power out to air flow meter contact - 12V with the key on

86b - power in from air flow meter contact - 12V when cranking (with no big vacuum leaks) or moving the airflow flap by hand

88d - power out to the fuel pump - 12V when cranking or moving the airflow flap by hand

88c - power out to the aux air regulator - 12V when cranking or moving the airflow flap by hand

88b - power out to ECU and resistor pack - 12V with key on

86a - power in from starter terminal 50 - 12V when cranking

86 - power out from 86a to cold start valve and ECU - 12V when cranking
