Hello you all
Thanks for a great and informative forum (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Sorry for my poor american, I´m danish. I have a 74 2,0 which can not start. Prior to this it only startet on 2 cylinders and after a 5 min. warm up it ran on all 4 , but often with a lot of hick ups. I pulled the distributor, cleaned the trigger points which look fine, fixed the ignition advancing which was stuck. cleaned everything and lubed the moving parts. I found out that one of the connections in the 3 legged connection for the trigger points was not pushed all the way in, hope this will cure the starting on 2 cyl. and hick up problem. But now it will not start. I´ve checked everything multible times and found out it is lack of fuel to the injectors. Only the start up injector works. Any ideas about what I fucked up? Any help will be appreciated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Regards Lars |

Hello Lars and welcome to 914world!
It sounds like the trigger points if you have lost injectors after playing with them. Are you intent on keeping it stock? The points are hard to come by and a 123ignition distributor is one of the best performance upgrades you can make. (And easiest). My great grandfather was from danmark... Copenhagen is a wonderful city. |

An easy test is to pull all four injectors out of the head but keep them connected to the fuel lines.
Rest each injector into a glass jar. Turn over the motor for maybe 30 seconds Check to see that each injector is spraying fuel. Compare how much fuel is in each jar. Rich |

And,
New fuel lines, fuel filter, verify no leaks in the engine bay and underneath the tank. Replace all of them. |

Sounds like that maybe be it. Control of the injector banks is from the trigger points, of course, and duration is controlled by the ECU with input from the mps and cht. No chance you disconnected the mps? I doubt that would do it but you never know.
You sure the plug is back on the trigger points correctly? Also make sure the distributor is fully seated. I hate pulling the injectors but it is the quickest way to verify. I mucked with my original distributor for a few months, got it working pretty good, pulled it, put it safely on a shelf and installed the 123. Well worth it and no more wear and tear on the original. |

Thanks for all your input..
Problem solved for now, found an old distributor in a box in the back of the workshop with trigger points mounted. I put the old greasy trigger set in distributor, and the motor starts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Now I can go hunting the 14-1500rpm idle and very rich idle, Have a great sunday.. |

Check your mps to see if it holds vacuum.
1400 sounds like cold idle. If it is warm and you have 1400... Do you have a dual can setup on your dizzy? Do you have the retard hooked up correctly? And of course,look for vacuum leaks. |
