Just like anything else, when the parts get old, either by age or by miles, you've got to replace them. The D-jet system is a 40+ year old design but it works the way it was designed to if you keep it up. Back then, Volvo recommended replacing all the sensors every 100000 miles. The parts are out there. Is it as good as the new fuel injection systems? No. It's design is 40 years old. My '73 get 25 mpg on the highway and it's not in the best of tune. It's never failed me.
