At the risk of sending you off in the wrong direction,
I have heard that the ECU ignores the input from the
sensors for the first few minutes when turned the
engine is turned on.  I have also heard that the
engine will run in 'default' mode if the sensors are
unpluged.  I do NOT know this for sure, so you should
check the archives or ask 'experts'.


Forgive me if I smile a bit here.  There is a parallel
discussion going on here about EFI versus Carbs.
Warren's problems here is a classic case of the "EFI
blues".  Carbs rarely fail like this, and if they do,
one can often SEE the problem, clean the oriface and
get back on the road.  Malcolm with a 91 carb'ed van
