I'm new to 914s so I was hopeing for a little help. Bought the car a couple months ago and it run great until now. I haven't been driving it because I'm in Wisconsin and had some things to work on to get it ready for spring. I've been disconecting the battery and have restarted the car three or four times in the last few months. A couple days ago though, it started fine, I let it idle for about ten minutes, then blipped the throttle a couple times and after returning to idle, quit running.

Where should I start?
Thanks, Steve

I should add, it still turns over fine, it won't fire up at all though.

what year and is it fuel injected? 1.7 1.8 or 2.0 engine?

Not trying to be a smartass, but are you sure it has gas? The gauges can lie.

That would be good info to include, it's a 2.0 with fuel injection, 74

I'll check the gas too, thanks

FP relay?

Ignition distributor loose? Maybe moved out enough to not engage with the distributor drive?

Do you hear the fuel pump when you first turn the key?

that's awesome, it was out of gas. Gauge read an 1/8th of a tank left. Lesson learned.

Thanks vsg914
