Porsche used the d-jetronic on the 914's up to 2.0 liters (somebody correct me?), so it should be able to work with larger engines if configured with the proper parts from a 914. --Correct. Just remember that the 1.8L used the L-jetronic system. It is considered better than the D-jet system but also a little more touchy (susceptible to vacuum leaks). ...Other potential problems may be the connector for the ECU itself, and the factory diagnostic connector. Any ideas? My squareback should be back from the body shop later this month (FINALLY!), and the first wiring harness available will probably be an engine wiring harness for '71 squarebacks. --I don't understand your concern with the "factory diagnostic connector". --I now have the official Volkswagenwek AG booklet for troubleshooting the Type 3 and Type4 D-jetronic fuel injection systems (MPC, or Manifold Pressure Controlled). Aside from troubleshooting stuff it also contains wiring diagrams. I will try to scan the booklet and post the information when I can and I will notify the list when I do.
