I thought I'd post this "service alert" since the problem might be more common than most think -
After months of troublshooting the 924, I found that a mouse had been taken up by the camshaft drive belt and slipped the timing in two steps - first it ran poorly, then it would barely idle.
I reset the timing - crankshaft to mark with #1 piston at TDC, Mark on the back of the camshaft pulley aligned to pointer, and distrubutor rotor pointed to fire #1 plug (rear right as you look at the firewall.
Thanks to Sleykin and Smoothie for reminding me about setting the marks - especially the advice to use the marks on the back of the camshaft pulley. The engine tachs like a motorcycle again. No alternator light, etc. I think that I'll do another post to alert formers about the mouse hazzard - a friend of mine said it happened with his VW. Anyway, Thanks to all for your help. - Peter |
