The Digifant takes care of ignition timing directly while the Digijet still uses a mechanical/vacuum advance/retard system. Digifant idle stabilizing is by regulating input air; Digijet by advancing and retarding the timing signals from the Hall sender to the ignition module. There is an "instant reset" when the system panics because of funny AFM inputs or possibly other things -- just turn the key off for a second. There are no stored error codes; in fact there are no error codes period, AFAIK. david -- David Beierl - Providence RI USA -- http://pws.prserv.net/synergy/Vanagon/ '84 Westy "Dutiful Passage" '85 GL "Poor Relation" |
