Hi,

2 tips for what they're worth.....

1. You may already have tried running with the 02 sensor disconnected ( open
loop )

2. I was corresponding with Darrell Boehler about building my digi-jet
digi-tool. He stressed that the digi-jet ECU is grounded through the ECU
housing, through the ECU mounting bracket, then through the screws that hold
the ECU mounting bracket to the van frame. He suggested making sure this is
getting a good ground. I added a ground wire to the upper ECU mounting tab
screw connection to make sure the ECU always has a good ground.
