Hi Volks,

Anyone have any ideas where to look on this one. Connections to sensors
seem good. O2 sensor is new. Gas milage is in the 16-18MPG range, which
can probably be blamed largely on the age of the motor, which is a
fairly high-milage 1.9. It gave similar milage in its prior life in my
Dad's 85 westy.

The digifant FI system it's wearing now came with the vanagon, and was
transplanted off the original engine after the PO blew two rods through
the top of the case. It worked fine once the transplant was done and it
seems like the high idle condition came along at the same time as the
new O2 sensor was installed.

Other than this it's a really smooth running van, so I would like to get
it sorted ASAP.

Happy Trails,
