And the Quantum?

Ok, let's all count=
CIS- Fpump-Accumulator-filter-Fuel Distributor-warmup regulator-cold start
inj-injectors. It uses vacuum and thermo-mechanical control of the mixture.
Digifant adds-computer-wiring (with lots of tricky ground connections)-temp
sensor-air meter-tps?-fuel pressure reg. It uses magic no-see-ums called
electrons to control its functions-it's not horrible, but it's no CIS for
trouble-free driving.  And check the price of a rebuilt FI dist vs. a digifant
comp sometime, It may have changed drastically, but last time I looked, they
were close, with the cis dist being about $100 cheaper.

<<Speeking from experience, specializing in VW and Audi, that digifant fuel
injection system is a simple set up (1), simple diagonsis (2)and (3)run a lot

1.Yea, and motronic manuals are great reading for my kids.
2.Next time you can diagnose and fix an EFI with only a FP gauge and a test
light
   let me know.
3.Wrong. The EFI is more precise, more efficient, and has better throttle
response
VW's big push for the efi was for emissions. As for throttle response, the CIS
car must wait for the engine vacuum to pull up the flap for enrichment. Air is
slower than electrons.

ANY LISTEES WILLING TO TRADE ME A TRABANT FOR THIS GAWD-AWFUL FOX?
and that's my $.10 worth.
