First, what is Berrymans B-12? Either you have water in your fuel system or a very loose wire connection in the FI system. For the water problem dump in a bottle of gas dryer. I've used STP with good results. Also, fill up with quality, high octane gasoline. I know the Bosch L-Jet FI system won't work if the cylinder head temp sensor isn't hooked up. See if the D-Jet has something similar.
