Hi Robert I haven't asked the most important question, what year is your vehicle? If it is '86 or later the following will help ... The mixture on the AFM is only used on engine warm up and when the engine is running open loop, ie running without an O2 sensor. I really shouldn't say only as a gross maladjustment will really cause problems. If the setting is close the O2 system should bring mixture into line when warm. The Temp 2 sensor is not on the engine. It is on the front drivers side of the engine bay connected to the thermostat housing. It will have a blue body and is held in the housing with a circlip. TB setting, you need a manual... http://homepage.mac.com/greystoke.eng/.Public/Vanagon%20Protraining%20Digifa nt%20I%2086-91.pdf The above is the '86 + Digifant Pro Training manual. Use the Digifant 1 section. D
