My firend i had the same problem do this
1 clean the fuel distribuitor with carb cleaner and 2 test the 4 injector with 4 empty bottles and measure the gas if 1 injector is leak change it; im shure that you have a bad injector maybe more than one if you have questions send me a pm
BTW sorry my english

yes I know ! I’ve bought this 924 only because the interior was absolutely perfect ! like new ! and the reason why the car don’t run good it’s only because it has not been driven a lot during its whole life !!! I’ve just start the bodywork, and now I have the time to work hard on the k-jet !

It’s rare for your dash to be that nice, so take care of it.

did you fix that problem yet?????
July 16th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
I’m gonna buy a rebuilt fuel distributor and new injectors, about 500€ for this parts but at least, i’ll be sure there will be ok.

defenitly something inside mabey the throttle body, it needs to be greased, i notice when you rev, it revs up but d-accelreates very slowly, something is a little seized

Hearing from your last part your getting no acceleration from idle? Mine is having very similar kjet issues, let me know what you have found out…
July 16th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
oh maybe ! thanks, I have 2 other air sensor plates, i’ll try with the best one of them, i will try with another distributor too…
thanks a lot 4 helping me.
now i have some explosions in my exhaust…
my timing belt is ok, ignition too…

I think your problem is that the air sensor plate is off, so that while it is at idle, it isn’t getting enough air, so no fuel is being distributed.

i’ve adjusted my valves yesterday with the manufacturer indications, nothing changed.
I think I have a probleme on my k-jet distributeur : too much fuel arrives at the cylinders.
I’m gonna change it with another one that i own, and see if it goes well.

Dude i think that you have to adjust the valves
July 16th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
I’m gonna take the compressions at each cylinder this week end and I will know more about it.

July 16th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
