Actually, I'm using the dime store fuel cut right now.. I think Gavin may have mixed the two mods up (Al Blaha's, and DSFCD) because of a resistor involved.
If you place a resistor (I used a 30k) in line on the ground wire to the pot the mod becomes a little "safer" to use.
This won't allow you to lean things out too much. Without a resistor the DSFCD can be REALLY sensitive.
One thing I've wondered though.. wouldn't it just be easier to use a smaller resistance pot instead of adding the resistor inline??
I've found with mine about 1/4 turn to the lean to give me 02 voltages around .88 and I don't hit fuel cut. (Up to 19 lbs anyway, havn't tried it further than that..)
I tried the DSFCD because I didn't like the idle I got, or the vacuum reading at idle (15 inHG) with my lower honeycomb out. Now, with the DSFCD and my lower honeycomb back in, I get a rock steady 750 idle, and 19inHG at idle..
Gavin: Did you add the resistor to the mas? If so which wire.. you may want to check with Chris Holmes and see if it's the same one Al Blaha puts the resistor on. There is a good chance your ECU now thinks it's colder out than it actually is, which WILL make you run richer.. but WON'T stop fuel cut.
