> Digijet Euro ECU Tuning > Jay, I'm going through the same thing with my Boston Bob Big Valve Engine. Still using the OEM computer but have a EURO Digijet for use later on after I get the engine broken in properly. I have my AFM spring at three notches tighter tension now and yes it does affect the idle. If you loosen the tension the idle will get smoother but the mixture richer. Bob has told me that it's better to get the mixture leaned out and have a rough idle for now. I'm using Ken Lewis's OXY sensor monitor to tell where the mixture is. Make sure the idle control switches on the throttle body are working. This is very important in getting the idle to stabilise. Right now I've got the fuel mixture leaned out so that acceleration if great. Much, much better than the stock set-up 2.1, however the idle is still rough. Bob says the real power is above 4000 rpm but I would not know that since at only 850 km on the engine I have not taken it past 4000 rpm yet. Coming soon ! The sound of the engine revving is much freer and significantly better than the stock engine that I drove for 380,000 km. BTW, I have one maybe two of the EURO spec Digijet computers for sale if anyone's interested. See my <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/sales.htm">Vanagon Items Forsale</A> webpage.
