Subject:   finding digitool sampling points in the wiring harness, without connection to ECU
Comments:   cc: midwesty@midwest.net
Content-Type:   text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi Volks,

For a long time I've been thinking about building the digitool or something similar, to try and track down intermittent problems with my engine. Problem is I don't want to touch the ECU (i.e. connect the 25 pin flat cable) because I don't have a spare. Can anyone recommend (I can't seem to get hold of Darrell Boehler, the digitool inventor) where can the same sampling points be found conveniently, without tampering the wiring harness?

Alternatively, I'd like to directly monitor, i.e. permanently connect LED's directly at the proper "digital" sampling points (e.g. Coil 12V terminals, injectors, etc., just like the digitool does), as well as attach test points for a DVM at the analog signals. Anybody already done that and can give recommendations, to save me trial and error rounds?... TIA.

===== Cheers, T-man.
