We purchased a used Digifant and all was well. A year later, I met Darrell Boehler (e-wise) and he repaired it for us. He says that the problem was just a poor solder connection and no new components were required. I put the repaired ECU back in the van and, I swear it, it runs more smoothly. This year, a fellow in North Bay just had to have a Digifant the very next day so I shipped the purchased ECU to him on overnight express and sold it for exactly what I paid. We kept the repaired ECU. Thanks Darrell, you've made us all happy. > I think this sounds like the culprit.... so soon maybe I'll have my ride back! -Larry
