I finally found my time and gut (gutsy enough to open up the digifant
with face value of $500+ and pray for not screwing up with it) to hook up my
digitool to my 88 weekender. I found it surprisely simple in opening up (it s
like a modem card in a pc) and soldering the wires to the digifant chassis.
The whole operation was a breeze. It works and looks like a cool christmas
lights inside the van...
On my first weekend round trip on street/freeway with digitool sitting on
the dashboard, I observed that the throttle position switch light went off
when I step on the gas and mostly went back on when I take my foot off the
gas... (several times I tapped lightly on the gas and the throttle light
flicked back on) Do I suspect a sticky or worn throttle position switch???
Does it mean it is corroded and need cleaning and lubricating? Or to be
replaced?
On the freeway driving, I observed when I take the foot off the gas, the
Fuel Injectors light went off (do all four FI's really shut the fuel flow
off?) and the Throttle light came on (again most of time). Then the FI light
went on and the T light went out when I step on the gas... Is that normal in
comparing to anyone with digitool?
Will check on Oxygen sensor, Temp I and II and AFM tomorrow... Any
suggestion, advice or cheering me on???
