I would say first Ohm out the AFM per the bently then check out everything
else.

1. AFM
2. Temp 2
3. ISV bypass this puppy for testing.
4. fuel pressure cap
5. other things i maybe missed, but if you have a bently it should help
along with this power list :)

I was going all over the place first with the cap fix mod the the AFM adjustment screw move, I had bucking and stalling for awhile and it would
cure for a bit then one day kapoot it died and would start, my ECU was flooding my plugs, but I think all along it was getting the wrong fuel mix
signal and pooped out BTW i can tell a big diffrence in that way the van drives with this ECU its like a new van.

also the archives has some good feedback.
Joe
