Can you give me a suggestion on where to go next?
start with the basics and do ALL the tune up stuff.
change the oil & filter; get good new, quality spark plugs, gap them to specs, and put them in, checking your spark plug wires as you do.
if you don't know how long it's been since your fuel filter was changed, replace that. check for vacuum hoses - leaks are bad. check your trigger points. check the fuel pressure. adjust your ignition advance EXACTLY to spec. adjust the valves. clean every ground you can find.
only after you've addressed all the normal maintenance items should you be looking for specific issues.
and guys - 914's have TWO, SEPARATE hot-(no)start issues.
in one of them, you turn the key and nothing happens (maybe you get the initial buzz from the fuel pump if you have a DJet. i don't think LJets do that but don't hold me to it...) this is a starter issue
in the other, you turn the key, the starter cranks the engine but it does not start. this COULD be vapor lock but it can also be other things.
but you HAVE TO be more specific on EXACTLY what's wrong so people don't spend a lot of time trying to help you fix a problem you don't have ...
