Mark, I had this very same problem. It really caused my FI system some grief since I couldn't get the throttle switch to adjust properly. The adjustment for the idle position is very particular on the Digifant and with the TBody bushings being sloppy I couldn't get the idle setup right. As a result the van would stall a lot when stopping at a light when cold. The solution: Rebuild the TBody yourself! I did it. Just disassemble it carefully and use teflon tape to 'build up' the bushings. Works great - costs nothing. Mine has been working for well over a year now. Damian
