I'm having it idle at this time.  Don't want to be stuck in traffic and be
clueless on the freeway.  I have a fuel gauge attached to see if the fuel
delivery is interruped or not.

And likely you're doing this Zoltan, but I'd suggest using the same
route/distance etc. each time you test drive and trouble shoot. This
helped me in trouble shooting my swap.
