I have got no idea what you're trying to ask or state! I assume you're asking why is it that the fuel is being injected out of the injectors all at once? This is correct. There is NO sequential injection that occurs. K in the K-jetronic is "Kontieurlich" (if I've spelt that correctly) which translated from German to English means "Continuous" ie all of the injectors spray fuel all the time. It's like a finer controlled version of a carburetor.

I assume that on your car that you've turned the ignition on fuel is constantly pouring out of the injectors. If this is the car you will need to adjust the crack off point using the long 3mm Allen key in the adjustment hole so that the injectors don't spray fuel but do so if the venturi is moved down by 2mm. This is a starting point so you don't flood the car. ...

Good luck

Ah now that makes more sense now thanks and sorry for being a drain just getting to my wits end, the fuel rpm relay has been modified as well with some soldering and an additional wire inside I will post a picture, might get another one that's standard

I bet it's been bypassed because it doesn't work so the wire is there to run the fuel pump all the time (maybe)

Please don't throw your old one out, they can be repaired usually by replacing the 555 timer chip inside. If you don't want it I'll gladly take it out of your hands to add to my tested spares collectionto help club members out :)

Just to add, if you've got fuel in the cylinders/ pistons/ exhausts then DO NOT try and start the engine until you've removed it all. You could hydraulically lock the engine causing damage.

remove the spark plugs, remove the lead to the coil "+" connection and creak the engine in short bursts to clear the fuel out of the pistons.

Good luck

I did get it wrong. It's spelt "Kontinuierlich"

I have a spare rpm relay if that's any help to you? It's a green one for a Volvo but they are the same I believe? Nick will confirm ;)
