Clay just made you a very generous offer.
I think that it's worth the shipping. I wish I knew about him when I was trouble-shooting my L-jet, I would have shipped him my system from Canada. Clay do you do D-jets,  cause for me that's next. My system is a true basket case, as in it came to me in two baskets. |

Mark, for all your D-jet info needs, try http://members.rennlist.com/pbanders . Between that and the hose diagrams here on Pelican, and gabbing on the BBS here, you should be able to fix things up pretty well.
Clay, you are a nutcase! I do mean that in a good way, though. A true 914 L-jet advocate, one of The Faithful. He gets a lot of ribbing at the Mid-US Rambles about the L-jet FI on his wife's car, but he takes it well. Heh, all you need are another dozen different L-jet testers, and a few more years of analog circuit analysis (oh, and someone to dissect an L-jet ECU and write up the diagrams for you) and you can be L-jet's answer to Brad Anders. Not a job I envy either of you. --DD

I sympathize completely with Eric. After fighting my L-Jet for too many years, I finally installed a 2.0 D-Jet I picked up in a parts car. After 5 months and 7,000 miles of maintenance free use I'm sorry I put up with the L-Jet for so long. It rarely ran trouble free for more than two months at a time before something went wrong with it. It would routinely exhibit the same symptoms only to have something totally different wrong with it-- wiring short, bad component, air leak, whatever. If it weren't for the cost, I many times would have switched to carburetors after an unsuccessful weekend of trouble shooting the L-Jet. I will admit that the car never left me stranded which would have been unforgiveable.
With the help of resources like Bruce Anders, diagnostics work on the D-Jet seems to be so much more quantifiable versus the L-Jet's black arts approach. And I say that in all love having become painfully familiar with the AFC system over a 15 year period. I still have the old 1.8 engine. Someday I might build it up with a little higher performance. And I'll probably convert to carbs at that time. Steve Stockton, CA |
