I was asked my a member helping me with my high idle /vacuum leak problem how I currently have it hooked up .This is the diagram I am using .

That's tough. The rebuild kit plus the tuning equipment was about 280 if I remember right. Problem is, in the end you will need Chris's kit to tune the mps. So you will still need the screw driver tool and the outer screw from him in the end. Your cht resistor plus that AA mps will probably be enough to fudge it for a while though. You would also need an afr but you were going to need that regardless of your mps diaphragm. The djet rabbit hole is deep. I would not worry about the tb at the moment. I left mine for a couple years before I had it repaired. It really is just a vacuum leak and you can compensate for that with the idle screw.

Could you recommend an AFR for purchase There are many to pick from with wide range of pricing . I still have the Bursch muffler I got from another member and since I need to have the muffler part replaced I can also have a bung welded in for use of an AFR , as far as the gauge will I need to install that somewhere in my car or can it be used only when tuning while outside of the car . I will call Chris today and see if he has found a replacement for the diaphragms yet .Not sure if I want to order the MPS from AA .
I did end up re-installing that inline resistor back into the CHT circuit ,car seems to run better with it . I am once again wondering about the past history of my car , The screw/nut in the butterfly plate in my TB ,the resistor that was in the box of parts and the fact that the decel valve adjustment was turned all the way in rendering it inoperable( maybe only to pass a visual smog check but out of the loop for performance ). I have been seeing a lot of WTB for MPS in the classifieds lately .
