Subject:Re: When in Doubt - Temp 2 - thanks to Digitool

I'm curious about the Digitool...I searched the archives and there's tons of stuff about using the Digitool but I couldn't find anything about the Digitool itself.  Could someone please give a briefing on the Digitool, i.e. applications to which engines, uses, and purchase availability?  From a reading of all the material posted about the Digitool it seems that many hours of labor and parts expense has been saved by the use of this tool.
Thanks, Anthony

The Digitool proved very useful.  I would have never

Suspected my temp 2 sensor

( seeing how it is only 2[!!] years old)

Yet � Digitool reported the sensor was basically dead and that my

Throttle Position sensor [TPS] was only working intermittently.

[ I never heard of the TPS before the Digitool told me it was not working]

So � reading through 20+ TPS adjustment notes on the archives last week

I [ skeptically] spent 2+ hours realigning the TPS and swapped out the Temp
2 sensor.

TA DAH! The van is running very well now and starts and idles perfectly!

No more more hesitations and cold idle stumbling!  Woo! Woo!

Future note: buy extra temp 2 sensors
