Alfred and the List,

This is how I modified Darrell's Digitool to work with the Digijet FI on my 85 GL.

For the LED's:

Pin #13 to:--------� l----------ZZZZZ---------Pin 7 for Power Supply LED

Pin 13 to----------� l---------ZZZZZ----------Pin 20 for Fuel Pump LED

Pin 13 to----------� l---------ZZZZZ----------Pin 11 for Fuel Injector LED 

Pin 21 to ---------� l----------ZZZZZ---------Pin 7 for Start enrichment LED

Pin 19 to----------� l----------ZZZZZ----------Pin 4 for Throttle position switch LED

(   -----� means the LED,      ZZZZZ means the resistor )

I did not hook up a LED for coil pulse. Darrell suggested I use my tachometer twitch for the coil pulse indication, he had reports of using a LED on it had caused the Hall unit to sometimes fail.

For the Digital Multi-meter part of the tool I used:

Temp II       02      Temp 1       AFM       Ground

Pin 2        Pin 5      Pin 14        Pin 15         Pin 7

Other Notes:

I soldered a wire to every ECU pin. In retrospect I only need to solder a wire to all the above Pins. 

I had never soldered before. I used a spare chip I had to practice. I learned to keep the tip tinned for the proper heat transfer. 

Please E-mail with any comments or suggestions,

  Hi Mark,

  I read sometime ago that you built yourself a Digitool for your 85 Digijet ECU.  I am trying to build one too for my 85 Vanagon as well.  I have looked at Darrel's site for the instructions, however his plans are for the Digifant ECUs.  If you have built the digitool for the Digijet, could you please e-mail how you have done it.  I have the Bentley manual, Darrel's plans for the Digifant Digitool, but need some guidance as to which wire connects where for the Digijet.
  Your help will be appreciated

  Thanks

  Alfred
