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.
