Hi Volks,
This problem has to be in the archives but I couldn't find it so here
goes. I have been swapping digifants in and out of by 86 westy. All was
going along fine with a digifant I had repaired so I went for a road test
and then I hit a bump the engine cut out. Turns out every time I hit a bump
the engine would cut out. I found the metal frame the digifant mounts
inside (about a 6 inch by 12 inch metal black cover) was shorting to a bolt
that supports the rear seat hinge. This bolt head had been covered with tape
by one of the POs or their mechanic. Hi Richard and Charles.
Being the curious type I later put a scope on the digifant frame and
found fuel injector pulses are normally on the cover. Like it is
designed that way. Has anyone else experienced this digifant shorting to
ground problem? Maybe this is an 86 or westy only problem or potential
problem.

Ps. My digifant tool showed me instantly the fuel injector pulses were
missing as I hit a bump.Have something to add on this topic today? Revive this thread in the forum »
