I’m from Germany and English is not my native language, that means you can expect some writing mistakes

I have already read a lot of threads in several forums, but haven’t found a working solution yet.

My car is 1983 Porsche 924 2.0

My problem: yesterday my engine began to stutter while accelerating. On my way home the engine shut down while I stoped at a traffic light, or rather the rev counter jumped to 0 then to 1000 and then the engine shut down. After I cranked the starter for a few seconds, the car started again and I was able the drive home, the engine was stuttering and jerking relatively strong.

At home a realized some misfires(bang from the exhaust), when I hit the gas a little bit while idling.

Until now I was able to fix all my problems with my 986 and my 924 with the help of forums in the internet...

Besides from these problems my 924 ran pretty good, I was also been driving max speed (+200km/h) several times on the Autobahn.

The spark plugs seem to be ok and have a brownish color. Also the wires look ok and they fit good on the plugs.

Is there a way to check the Hall effect sensor (idk. if that’s even the English name)?

Every help would make me happy!!

Maybe the ignition coil is bad when heating up?

I also have the misfires when my engine is cold, but maybe the coil is not as good anymore. At least it looks very old.

Welcome to the board.

If your tach is reading properly when misfiring and while accelerating, I suspect it's fuel related. Fuel filter? Fuel pump? Fuel relay?

Also check for vacuum leaks.
