Dennis,

I don't mean to stir the pot to much, but........

My 85 GL had the 1.9L WBX with the Digifant Fuel Injection.

My Bentley clearly shows on page 24.31 Fig 24-115 wiring harness to the
idle stabillizer for the Digifant FI system on the 1.9L WBX.

Also, page 24.46 Fig. 24-182 clearly shows the idle stabilizer control
valve.

Regards,

John Rodgers
88 GL Driver.
