Yes. I noticed that and wondered of it. (and throttle switch)
So I should leave the ICU plugged in?

Fuel pressure and delivery are fine but I wonder that if over time,
dirt etc. blocks flow from fuel tank as fuel is sucked out.
re: AFM comment. I played around with my AFM.
Currently, I've re-adjusted the wiper as best i can and repositioned
board so wiper contacts board at or close to the OEM position. The tweaks
I'd made caused what I assume is aggressive wear in a short time.

Injector spray pattern is ok, but I have no idea what condition
head valves etc are in.
