Digifant II:
Fuel injection system cleaning and intake valve decarbonization
Vehicles equipped with a Digifant fuel/ignition Management system sometimes experience driveability problems such as rough idle, stalling, bucking, or
poor acceleration, primarily during warm-up. Driveability problems are frequently related to the use of gasoline with insufficient cleaning additives
which will lead to the following conditions:
^
Fuel injector gum-up, fuel injector tips clogged by varnish and carbon deposits
^
Carbon build-up on intake valves and/or intake ports
This Technical Information Bulletin (broken into 4 steps) provides repair information to eliminate the driveability problems described above.
