jbchristie Sun Jun 23, 2013 3:01 pm

I start my 914 and drive on the first drive of the day and it runs great. Then I turn her off after I get to destination - run inside - start her up and she becomes sluggish and begins to hesitate from 3,000 to 4,00 rpm. Any ideas?

Standard problem...to start with. It is heat soaking the cylinder head temp sensor.

This is usually you are running slightly hot in the first place and you probably need a new CHT about $30.

Lastly you may already have your baseline mixture slightly too lean. I say this because there should be enough range to be able to absorb a bit of excessive lean mixture for a few minutes that comes from this common problem (heat soak). Ray
