Tom,
I agree the Digitool is very handy. Mine is the Digijet version so the
readings may not match perfectly to your later model Digifant. I asked
basically the same question about eight years ago - wish I could
remember all the answers. The Temp 2 reading should start almost the
same as the Temp 1 and fall off as the coolant warms up. The O2
reading should bounce around roughly centered on .50. If it stays
consistently higher you're system is running rich, consistently lower
it is lean. On the Digijet the reading will start about .40 and stay
there until the exhaust warms the sensor, I think the Digifant with the
heated sensor starts working sooner. My AFM reading is typically
between 1.50 and 1.65 at idle with the engine fully warmed up.
The TPS LED should be on when the engine is idling (no foot on the gas)
go out as soon as you touch the pedal and come back on when you reach
full throttle. If it doesn't do this the Throttle Position Switch
needs attention. The FI LED should flicker at idle and gradually
become steady as the rpms climb. It will go out when you suddenly let
off the gas then begin to flicker again when the engine slows to idle
speed.
