--------------------------
    The digijet tool (for 83.5 -85 vanagons) has moved  from the drawing
board to the perfboard and is now installed in a 6x4x2 inch black box.  It
has LEDs, LCD, rotary switch , and a 25 pin d shell connector mounted on top
of the box. The LCD reads voltages from 00.00 to  19.99 volts.
     With the 6 position rotary switch it is possible to select for viewing
on the LCD,  temp1,  temp 2, Oxygen sensor, afm wiper, battery voltage, and
a probe wire  to use the LCD as a volt meter.
     With  the  6 LEDs the status of the following can be determined at a
glance, ECU power,  start signal to the digijet, fuel pump power, throttle
switch,  coil pulses, and fuel injection pulses.
    The female 25 pin d shell cable connector mounted with the pins exposed
upward providing meter / probe points pin for pin with all 25 pins of the
digijet ECU.
    Like the digifant tool the digijet tool requires the installation of a
flat wire pc type cable onto the printed circuit board of the ecu.
    Fellow list member Jim Maginel from Cape Girardeau Mo. is dropping by
Friday afternoon so we can test this tool out. Jim  has volunteered to use
his 85 to check and test  and debug the tool.  I feel there are no bugs but
one never knows until all is hooked up and plugged in. Jim and I will keep
the list updated as we move forward with this endeavor. Thanks for all the
interest, help,  and encouragement from so many on the list.  With your help
I was able to get voltage readings and parts location / layouts with out
seeing or  having a digijet van to work with.
