Look at the 914 club web site forum. I gave a list of what I think should be done after a car is stored, there are other opinions as well, of course mine is the only one that counts (ha-ha).

On the sputtering, replace the fuel filter ($5), and then see if there is a resister (black plastic enema looking thing near the CHT sensor) inline with the Cylinder Head Temp sensor. If there is take it out (remove it and plug the CHT directly into the harness) and see what happens. The next thing is to read the D-Jet article on the 914 fans web site, check the resistance of the CHT cold and warm. I had a similar problem of the motor dying when I accelerated after the motor warmed up, it was the resistor, but a bad CHT might do the same thing. Next check the injector FI points. As allways, if you think it is the FI system, check the ignition system first.

So, look at the Haynes manual and go through the ignition spark, timing, and dwell. Then get the article (it might be on this site too, but I don't remember) off the 914 fans web site and go step by step through the FI.
