The '85's got the TPS under the throttle like the later vans. 83 and 84 have the two obvious micro switches. They do nothing on a cold engine. Only after it warms up and goes closed loop do they have an effect.

Hi Volks, I was working on a local van yesterday and noticed a small surge at idle when cold. When I checked the engine compartment I was surprised... I could not find the throttle position switches. No wiring leading to them either. This van was built in October 1985; is it possible there was a version of digifant without the TPS?
