Pulling out on to the main road, under semi hard acceleration, the engine stumbled. It was like the switch was turned off, and the back on. 3 Miles later, same type of acceleration, quit and would not restart. Pulled over. Checked fuel pump, it was priming when the key was turned on. Electric at coil was good. So why won't it start? FI 1.7

Poked around and tried it again, and off I went. Well the rest of the ride when ever I went past 1/2 way with the gas pedal, it would try to shut down. Let off the gas or hard on the gas , and it ran.

When I got home I found the accelerator cable when under tension, would just touch one of the leeds on the coil and short out through a pin size hole on the casing of the accelerator cable.

Moved the cable a little, and good to go.

Ahhh, another crazy 914 story. That's a good one. Glad to hear it's solved though. Nice work!

Now that is one for the books!

Pay $65 a hour to diagnose that one! Good work! Now find out why your brakelights where not working!

I am actually working on a flux capacitor. Hope to offer it as my xmas special. And right now I am actually working on a gizmow.

does the gismo replace my single-carb? Right now(cold weather), it's like trying to race a cow on the horse-track.
