MISTAKES WERE MADE

I had the throttle closed when I did the compression test. I did it again after putting some oil on top of the cylinders. I did the test again with the throttle open, and I got 1 ...

Hello guys,

After a year working on my car, I fixed pretty much everything, even rebuilt the K-Jetronic successfully.

Since the engine keep not starting, I finally did a compression test.

I am fixing the 924 little by little by putting the wiring back how it should be.

Electrically, the car is behaving crazy. If I wire the battery, and turn on the headlights, they work, but once I ...

So, the wiring in my car has been extremely modified,
I'm trying to see if I can find a 924 owner in my area, someone who'd be willing to help me compare OEM wiring with whatever has been done to my ...

Hello thanks for the reply,
Yeah I figured that out, but I'll be doing a whole flush of the car before taking the road with it anyway.

I investigated more and tried to use starting fluide to see ...

This leads me to believe that the engine has no sparks.
Time to double check the whole ignit ...

That's actually pretty smart. Do I need to pull the spark plug too or can I see anything with the spark plug wire?

I manage to fix the fuel leak and now the K-Jetronic injection makes a noise again, meaning it has fuel running it in, the question now is whether the fuel in it goes in the engine or now. Because if ...

Good news! I have fuel pressure! Bad news, I have a fuel leak.

Well that's a new clue as to why it won't work.

Thanks a lot that's very insightful.

It's actually my first project car so, lots of things in pratice that are different from theory

Some other guy suggested that the problems could all come dow ...

Hello there, I bought a Porsche 924 from 1979 to fix it. Right now it is sleeping outside, and I'd like to get it running enough so that I can park it in my driveway.

The previous owner tried fixin ...
