Hey everyone. The yellow '74 914 arrived on the truck today. I met the guy at the mall. I'll post another posting about the fiasco of getting the car off the truck.
Problem: Start the car and it idles at or above 3000 rpm. There was one or two hoses that looked to go into the air box that were not connected them. I reconnected them but that did not help. There is a hole on the drivers side on the engine block that does not have any hoses connected. The air box to throttle body does not seat all the way down. I tried to press it down but it would not stay. I left the car at the mall as I am afraid to drive the car around with it idling so high. I did a couple circles in first and second gear. Please help!! I do not have a haynes manual yet as I did not expect to have any problems the very first day that it arrived. Argh!!! The wiring is definately a hack job. I'll post pictures later with circles around the various parts. I just got home and I am trying to relax. Very bad day.
