Wow, with all the D-Jet issues being posted lately and owners pulling their hair out trying to identify the problems to repair, I am very thankful to have two simple and reliable Dellorto carbs on my car. Yes, I would love the smoother experience of F.I. but wondering if it is really worth the aggravation.

What experiences were reported of those who converted to from D-jet/carbs to CIS from VW Rabbit et al? Seems like a reasonable alternative that's a bit newer, low cost, and should better deal with altitude changes.

A major problem with FI use and tuning is that many of us non-mechanic types don't have a ready resource for understanding of trouble shooting and maintaining these antique systems. The use of terms like CIS, MPS, and AAR type acronyms here on the site are often a foreign language to many of us. I would value a comprehensive troubleshooting reference that doesn't use code words that are not understood by we novice wrenchers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)
