no debating that digijet and digifant are significantly different.
and I'm very familiar with running a 2.1 on digijet etc.
however...looking at the bently diagram for the two AFM's...
1.9 versus 2.1 ..
they look awfully similar inside.
the only different I see is how they drew the little arrow on the right hand
variable resistor .
in the 19 diagram it shows the arrow going to the top, on the 2.1 the arrow
sticks through a little.
I don't know if that's just a conicidence and it doesn't matter, or that
difference in now it's drawn really means something.
sometimes if you look really carefully, and understand what they are
representing in the drawings of the parts in the wire diagram .....they do
try to represent what part is what inside a relay etc...
so I am wonderiing if it means anything or not.
inputs to the ecu appear to be the same.
I'm gonna pop a 2.1 AFM onto a digiget system and see what it does.
if anyone would like to comment on the internal nuances of the two AFM's ...
that would be great.
