I have solved my hesitation / intermittent low power off the line / poor gas
mileage problem!  Using my Digi-Tool I discovered that my throttle position
switch was only closing at full-throttle and not at no-throttle.  This was
causing a few problems, first when you lift off the accelerator at rpm the
throttle position switch should close causing fuel injectors should shut
off, mine was not.  Second, at idle the throttle position switch should be
closed, I assume this is to modify the fuel mixture or some such thing.
Anyway I adjusted the switch and now its running great and instead of my
14/17 mpg I'm getting 18/19 (2WD, Wolfsburg suspension, 205/70's).  Note: I
have a yakima rack on the roof, hurts mileage somewhat.  And as if that
wasn't enough my hesitation problem is gone.  Thanks Darrell!

Just to show my appreciation of my Digifant tool I've made it it's very own
section on my page, see it at < http://www.251.org/digitool.html >
