[16vtech] Dire help needed, Rich and won't idle



my guess is that the DPR crapped itself. it did this to me on the rieger
once and it ran like crap, out of nowhere. finding that problem took nothing
more than measuring DPR current and finding out that it was stuck at 0 mA
during idle, with good o2 sensor voltage (~0.5 VDC), and the adjust screw
had no effect on DPR current. the current did change when i rev the engine
(enrichment), and current went to -60 mA while returning to idle (kickdown),
this told me the circuit was good (current flows), but the diaphragm was bad
inside the DPR itself.
