!976 2.0 barn find, been sitting for yearsn no rust, good condtion. Going through brakes and chassis rubber, struts, shocks make a nice driver. Have not driven the car yet, has fuel injection, idle varies, vacuum leak? What is going on with no carburetors on a stock 2.0? Because of the camshaft timing carburetors do poorly? Is this true or a tale? Seems carburetors would be simple. Is this a myth of no carburetors on a 2.0? Thanks for the time and information. Steve V.

the 914 engine is built for fuel injection. Read my dissertation in the tech tips 700 about the evils of cave man fuel injection, CARBs. Really really bad

They were FI from the start.
Rare to see an original one still running on it. Lots of people cannot repair the FI and the most common reason for carburetors was "lack of diagnostic abilities" by the person doing the repairs. This is an excellent article about updating the original FI to more modern equipment. https://tgadrivel.blogspot.com/2020/03/on-m...914-part-1.html This site has more D-Jet Gurus than any other source you can find. One of the members makes complete wiring harnesses for it, super nice ones. (old harnesses can be crappy) You will find LOTS of help here for any directions you want to go. I like the modern stuff but if the car was 100% stock and nice fixing the original FI stuff is the way I would go. The original FI does not work well with large camshaft durations. This explains many of the carbureted hot rods you see. The modern digital FI CAN support extreme mods and really should be considered before you spend money on a set of IDFs. The carbs are simple but changes require hard parts. The modern FI is altered via a laptop... |

When I bought mine it had DAPO fixes on the FI. Took me a few months to troubleshoot it and a couple years to tune it up to where it is now. If you have functional FI I would keep it and fix it yourself. You remove it on a 76 and whole markers of potential buyers will disappear. Not saying that you are going to flip it, but it is something to keep in mind.

The European versions had carbs, but all the 914's in the US had Bosch FI. It is a great system if you can get it and keep it working well.
