<DIV>To my knowledge, I don't think so. But most people do it out of
convenience, in that carbs are easier to work on. I think a lot of it goes to
not being able to "see" what's happening in the wires, and the mysterious
nature of the FI. Most problems with the FI, aren't really FI problems, but
rather problems with other parts of the car (like low system voltage, or the
engine needing a tune up, things like that). Some are just more "comfortable"
around carbs too. But, like Jim always tells us, there's a learning curve in
either system (carbs or FI), and you have to be willing to learn that, in
order to keep your car running correctly.<BR>
