Hi, I just bought my first 914 1 week ago (75 1.8L). Car did not run, took me about 2 days but i got it running ok. Replaced ignition, runs better, replaced all vacume lines, runs even better, checked and cleaned all FI components runs great. The two things i am having a problem with is the idle is to high 1100 rpm, and i cannot find out where to hook up the distributor vacume retard line. If i rev the engine high, on retuning to idle it sort of backfires or something. I checked out the vacume advance line hooked up to the throttle body with a vacume guage and it has good vacume on idle, but when i rev the engine the vacume drops to zero and stays there. Is this right for advance? I have checked out the diagrams ect. and they say i should have two lines comming off of the throttle body to the distributor (one for advance/one for retard) but i only have a place to hook up one. All the other lines are there and hooked up right, no vacume leaks and it still idles high. I did the timing and tried all the adjustments and get nothing. Thanks for your help, it is realy hard to find anything about 1.8L out there. Dave
