Ya, them $450 idle speed controllers are a real money saver.  What did you
say earlier one every 2 years until you figured out how to clean it.

   If a car can have DCOE(s) put on it, I'll bet I can tune it to the same
degree of customer satisfaction as any oem EFI.
   I'd venture a guess, that item by item I could do a DCOE conversion
within the funding of retail replacement prices for an entire EFI.
Doubt it all you want, but just happens to be true.
Have you ever really *tuned* a DCOE?.
