John, I do have the workshop manual and it does have information on the various systems but does discuss how one would measure fuel flow as in gallons per hour. There is an article about the CIS Fuel system at <A HREF=="http://www.sjmautotechnik.com/outofuel.htm"> http://www.sjmautotechnik.com/outofuel.htm</A> that talks about an "air flow plate potentiometer" ... which tells the ...trip computer ... Our cars do not have such a part.? I wonder if one could be added?? It looks like it attaches to the pivot point of the air flow plate.? On my car there seems to be a brass plug at that point.? OK who has the guts to pull out that plug and see what's inside!? Perhaps we can experiment on a scrapped unit? What do you think? I also think that some computer product of engine RPM and frequency valve data might give us fuel consumption.? What do you think? > Dave, I know the fuel system pretty well, but all the information you are > asking for, cold &warm pressure, system, rest and control pressure is in > the technical manual. 2 pages of it.
