Hi All,
1974 2.0L Factory FI
Problem: Not running. Tries to start, then dies. Just a little bit ago was running, but smoking on decel, when you let up on gas, and shifting between gears. Then it would get warmed up and not like to run well. 10 minutes or so of driving.
Please see pictures below. I thought it might be Exhaust Valve Guides. My 914 started smoking, so I started doing some trouble shooting.
Compression is as follows: #1 115 psi, #2 115 psi, #3 104 psi, #4 112 psi
I know these are not ideal, but still seem good enough to run. I have read 93 or above can still run and or within 12 psi difference per cylinder.
Please help.
Valves are adjusted to spec. New plugs, wires, cap, rotor, ignition TP cleaned (looked OK)
