You know, I hear that a lot from "old-timey" mechanics who cut their teeth
on Holley 4-barrels, but I never really agreed. Given the factory manual,
I've always been able to narrow down what a crabby EFI system is complaining
about with a voltmeter. Then again, my first car was a 280Z with the Nissan
version of the Bosch L-Jettronic. I wouldn't know where to begin looking on
a carburetor for trouble.  Carbs always seemed like magic to me.

I've always considered the Digifant to be about the perfect level of
complexity: two temp sensors, an O2 sensor, and an airflow meter.
