doesnt run...the VW mechanic knows *NOTHING* about L-jet (even though he's dicked with it on buses, etc.) apparentally he thinks that the car runs just dandy without the AFM.....

this thing has been there for over six months.....time to rescue....

i dont actually know why i posted this.....

i hate to see that 914 sit there when I could buy it for free and drive away

start with the basic 3. spark, fuel and compresion. my 1.8 L-Jet ran (barely) with busted rings in 2 cylinders so skip compression . does it do anything? sputter? anyhting?

L-Jet is not that hard. If I cant figure it out, the 914club collective will. resistance is futile. tell us more.

I went over there to grab some junk parts....a 009(i completly forgot which number it was)dizzy and a coil...and saw the 914...

Me: What's up with the 914?
Steve: It's junk....
Me:
Steve:
Me: So whats wrong with it?
Steve: Teh injectors won't fire....
Me: okay, did you adjust the dwell gud nuf?(KY talk)..and is the fuel pump running?
Steve: dwell set..it's firing, but not squirting fuel...the pump doesnt work
Me: Hows teh AFM?
Steve: Doesn't matter, it can run without it....
Me: huh? no...the AFM is the main part of L-jet, its liek running the D-jet without a mps....no way no how. (at least teh "correct" way)
Steve: sure it can...i've done it many times in busses. This just won't work
Me: check the dual relay......

I left with my 009 and my coil......

the above was an actual conversation between me and the VW mechanic. From that day forward, I did my own work

So is he gonna sell it or is it one of his customer's cars?

...not that I'd consider buying ANOTHER 914.

I think its a customer's car......

I'd be pissed if it were my car.....it does have chrome bumpers. its definately L-Jet though.

this guy is pretty good with VW's though...he's got a kickass 2.0L type4 beetle....but the R&P is bad or something and it wouldnt go well.....

wide tires.....

OK, first off...we need to work on your CSOB technique...

We need to bring out the vulture in you...

So, lets try this again...


Me: What's up with the 914?
Steve: It's junk....
Me: :
Steve:
Me: So whats wrong with it?
Steve: The injectors won't fire....

OK, stop right here....
Talk about how much the parts cost...how much it might cost to fix it....
Get him to agree that its a pain in the ass to fix...
Get him to agree that its a parts car....

Then ask how much for that worthless parts car..
The rest of your conversation is you giving free advise....not needed...
Go back, buy the car..get your FI system off of it, and part out the rest...

how long you been on this board? you should know this by now or shall we just chalk it up to your youthful naivete?

I think I need to practice the vulturing technique.....

i cant buy the car...it just pissed me off that he wouldnt do anything with the car.

he has a D-jet tester up in the attic i think he'll part with though. i'll tell him its a parts tester and its worthless, since nobody uses D-jet anymore....

is that vulture enough?
