DJ-code is a European WBX with 112 hp and a DIGIJET ECU.  The engine code is
at the base of the oil breather tower:

The myth is that no DJ-code engines came with a Catalytic converter or O2,
which is not true for all of them.  The DJ wiring harness is in two pieces,
one main ECU and a secondary ECU which controlls O2, and other functions.
They both sit behind the left taillight like a 1.9L ECU.  I can not figure
out where these harnessess mate with the vehicle main harness.  I also don't
know how this is related to the MV Digifant harness.  It's pretty obvious in
my '84 as the interface is a large box on the "firewall".  Any pictures of
the left side of the engine compartment would help.

Chris.
