Bad Decel Valve Can Cause Engine to Die?
I'm looking at purchasing a '74 2.0 project car, but the owner says it has a problem. It dies in the middle of intersections. Almost got him killed so he stopped driving the 914. He said his mechanic thinks it's a bad Decel Valve. Would a bad Decel Valve cause the engine to die while accelerating? What's the purpose of this valve. Is it a costly component?
