Thanks for the link. It's interesting. Maybe these guys are good 
with the FI, but I don't get a particularly good feeling from looking at 
their web site. The Grundig test instructions seem poor and 
confusing, even contradictory at times, and they confuse voltage 
with current. Perhaps that's the way the real Grundig instructions 
are, but I'd expect better.

In looking at the Bosch tester instructions they look pretty familiar 
except that everywhere the word "sensor" should appear it has 
been changed to "feeler." So they talk about the "pressure feeler" 
and the "cylinder head temperature feeler." Don't understand why 
anyone would do that....

I also saw no mention anywhere of D-Jetronic, they refer to it as 
the "MPC" FI system. Too bad. Why miss an opprotunity to use 
the right words, educate a few people, and use standard 
terminology...?
