Hey Dennis and everyone,

Perhaps I'm confusing DigiJet and L-Jet.  I know the TPS on L-Jet cuts the
O2 sensor at idle and WOT, and I can't recall now if the TPS on the Vangon
('84) does, perhaps it is just WOT.  It's too cold here (38ºF) for be to
bother looking.  Later Vanagons might be different?  I'll be finding out
soon if I buy my next one, an '87.

So if I'm full of it I'm sorry! :)
