Tried to call but the phone number on your website doesn't work...


Use a voltmeter (if you have one) on the sensors -- there's nothing magic
about a Digitool.  Likewise measure the T-II resistance and compare with
the chart in Bentley.

If you haven't got one, unplug the O2 sensor, see if that fixes.  If not,
jumper a 220 ohm resistor across the T-II terminals to simulate a hot
engine (the engine has to actually *be* hot, of course).
