Hi My 914 is running very badly. I just drove it from LA to Corpus Christi.
By the end of the trip it would not idle at all, and was still missing sometimes. I pulled one plug, and it looks okay to me.  I also found a hose "missing" I don't know what it connects to. It looks like some sort of regulator or something.  The final thing is a wire that isn't connected at one end. It's light brown and goes under the throttle body. Any ideas? In this picture, it looks like it is connected to the coil, but it isn't. It runs from top center by the oil filler and down under the throttle body?  This is a 1.8 l l-jet Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks, Jeff |

Just so I cover everything that I can. That brownish wire should have a white wire running through the middle and mine attaches to the negative terminal of the coil.

The one that comes from behind the throttle body? Isn't the negative side of the coil ground? Ihave never measured any resistance on my white wire, but I will check the negative of the coil for missing wires. I don't think there are. |

Didja ever figure this thing out? I'm curious about the relay looking thing in the third picture- over near the battery attached with wire nuts. Thats what got my attention. Wire nuts are not an OEM technique. That and the blocking of the vacum line intentionally. Whoever haad this car before you messed with the FI in weird ways (I think). I don't have a 1.8 (or FI at all actually), but I am intregued by this challenge...

Just to answer your question, that spark plug color looks good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif)
