Good Evening dgoad, I am in awe, It is funny isn't it the way you end up being the family and friends Mr. Fixit!
I have had a lot of experience with the older P&W Jt-3 & JT-9 series, GE's and RB211's but that is all history now.

I would have loved to have been involved with rockets.

Things always break in a series (usually 3) sounds like you have a head-job on your hands next, if it is a front wheel drive you will really enjoy that!! LOL!!
I hope you have a nice set of metric tools there!

From memory that computer "limp mode" virtually results in simply dumping fuel into the system and there is not much injector timing involved, I think the whole idea was simply to alter the air butterfly to try to get you home kind of thing, it will be interesting to see what you find. I never bothered to check it.

I found in BOSCH computers it didn't give a code, I suspected the rest of the system was isolated somehow as if it were running normally.
Obviously you are thinking similarly.

I must say it is a pleasure meeting you, in view of the possible jumper lead escapade it becomes more probable the computer will fix it.

I usually get them from auto wreckers, they have amazing reliability.

Cheers, qldit.
