Where are you located? You might have more interest if you mention your location.

The motor is an interference motor so if the belt breaks, which it will after sitting so long, the valves will hit the pistons and you'll be pulling the head off and spending a bunch of money. No trick to change the belt. No special tools needed. Do you have a Haynes manual yet? The belts are readily available at most autoparts stores but don't run the motor 'till you've changed it.

Fuel pumps are available at Performance Products, Pelican, and a host of other suppliers. Do some searching on this board and google. Paul Stewart has some very good names of suppliers. The pumps are not cheap but not any worse than a Honda. From the looks of things, you're going to need some other parts too so you may as well find some good suppliers. You'd be surprised what all your local O'Reillys and parts houses actually carry or can get for you at a reasonable price. Places like Performance Products are pretty pricey. Stay away from Automobile Atlanta and the other Georgia located parts supplier. You might want to post a question here on the board about the supplier you're thinking of using before you make any major purchases. Some are excellent, some not so good and some are worth avoiding all together, no matter how cheap they're selling stuff.

Before you replace any pumps, be sure to pull and clean the tank of the rust that's probably accumulated, especially if the tank has sat empty or near empty. If there's any fuel in it, it's probably varnish by now and any rust or debris will only ruin your new pumps. Tank liners are inexpensive. Pulling the tank is a bit of work for the DIY'er but if you're serious about keeping the car, it's money and effort well spent since the debris will get into your injection system and cause all kinds of problems down the road.

If for sale, what's your asking price?

Most of all, start reading up on the 931 section on this board. It will answer most if not all of your questions since it's probably the most comprehensive repair advice on the internet and lot's of knowledgeable guys on here when it comes to getting a turbo running right. And the
FAQ has alot of parts info.

Good luck and keep us updated on your progress. Always glad to see a "rescue" 924.

should i do just the timing belt or the whole kit from autozone. the car is in texas.

[ideola]

Do the whole kit. It would be pointless to go to the effort of changing the timing belt, only to have one of the other components seize up and cause the whole thing to go kablooey anyway.

Principles to live by (or at least, repair your Porsche by):
1. GET THE RIGHT TOOL(S) FOR THE JOB!!!!
2. DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!!!!
