 All helpless feelings toward your fuel system can be solved without going
back to late 1800's technology.  The Bosch fuel injection book (blue cover)
will explain the operation of your FI system.  I don't consider myself to be
a genius, but with a little reading, I quickly became familiar with the
injection systems on my cars, and feel completely comfortable performing any
necessary repairs.  Almost any FI problem can be diagnosed by a person
capable of reading an ohmmeter and a fuel pressure gauge.  True, people are
afraid of what they don't understand, but gaining the knowledge necessary to
overcome this fear is obtainable by anyone capable of reading of reading
this message.
