Thanks guys for your input.
I am of the opinion that taking a Bosch injected vehicle to a dealer or indie is a mugs game. Most of the dealers and indies in my city send the cars with injection problems to a Bosch franchised injection specialist. These guys only do one thing - Bosch injections. They have all the technological equipment and know how - inherently more knowledge than the average mechanic.

A full service, system adjustment, system clean-out, and diagnosis costs around $ 150.00 at the Bosch specialist. He will then inform you of suss items. AND they know exzactly what they are doing.

Haphazardly trying to guess what is going wrong with a KE injection system with a multitude of expensive individual parts can lead to an expense much more than the sum of the problem as indicated at the start of this thread.

At least the professor has replaced do much on the injection system that he should have no real problem for years - caveat - after it is tuned properly with the correct equipment.

Hmm I never thought of that myself. I may actually do what you said and take my wagon in that has idle issues. Thanks Ivan!
