Subject:Digitool to the rescue
From:Jim Felder

All;

Those of you who have been following my electrical problems and trying
to help will be pleased to hear that all my 90's problems are gone
away. The problems came from a combination of two things: a bad hall
sensor and an out-of-adjustment idle switch. The hall effect sensor
was replaced a week ago and the no-starting problem was solved. The
arrival and hookup of a digitool (thanks, Mark Drillock, and thanks
for the ECU for diagnosis, too) told me in seconds what the problem
was. David B. and others pointed me to the adjustment, which is really
simple with the throttle body out of the car.

It runs great now, which is a good thing, because a potential buyer is
coming to look at it tomorrow!

Jim
