I've looked over the archives, but have to admit that I am confused at times
by some of the recommendations regarding timing for a 91 Vanagon Gl with a
Digifant system.  Bentley says about 5 BTDC (if I remember correctly).
After changing plugs, rotor, oil change, new temp II sensor, cleaning out
the ISV, new air filter, air flow boot,  Oxygen sensor (I think that's it) I
set the timing as per Bentley.  I checked the RPMs by the tach, on the dash
and it seemed fine (@ 850 RPM), pretty solid too, although the timing mark
was jumping around a bit.  So my question is...  what is the experience of
the group for the timing on the Digifant ??  should I advance it and then
reset the idle?  I haven't messed with the idle adjustment... yet.    Seems
to run fine, although on the cold mornings that we have had recently the
initial start up has seemed a bit rough (erratic idle at first, give it some
gas and it does fine). and  that seems to clear up as the engine gets warm.
I haven't yet verifies that my throttle valve switch is working correctly...
I'll break out my multimeter later tonight.  Any thoughts would be
appreciated.

Thanks
