Hmmm for some reason that didnt work. I am interested in the Diesel engine
and I have a few 1.8l engines as well as a couple of FI management systems.
I am in Seattle so feel free to call me and I can give you some ideas. I
have done many of these conversions so I can most likely answer any question
you have. The Bonus is that I am in Seattle too!
