I believe the tester can be reliable but as soon as you discover a problem you
must stop and fix it. You cannot continue on and expect the tester to properly
work. As soon as the first problem is fixed restart the testing procedure. One
failed test can pollute the results of future tests.
Remember, the tester is just a diagnostic *tool* for those who just cannot
understand FI nor have the common sense for it. My experience with my FI 914
has proven that not all FI problems can be solved through common sense,
particularly when multiple errors are occurring under different circumstances
(and it turns out to be just one simple head temp sensor causing the
problems...argh!).

All this said, your system doesn't have all these problems, maybe 1 or 2,
dont trust the testor, their very limited and can get confused easily,
learn your system and use common sense, its the simplest system ever made
and very straight forward. I have all these parts in case you do need them
just let me know. Once these systems are reconditioned I've found them to be
very reliable and perform very well.
