SV: Anyone have MFA?

["Roland Johansson" <scirocco@mail.bip.net>]

The MFA gets distance information from a sender on the backside
of the speedometer and calcultates consumtion from distance, rpm
and vaccum. So if distance isn't working, is your speedometer
and rpm working properly? Your vaccum line is good?

You have a fuel level sensor but it's not connected to the mfa.
