CIS-E air by-pass

[Kurt Deschler]

That procedure works fine with the ISV hooked up. You are simply 
minimizing the ISV correction through successive approximation. The only 
model specific part is the idle rpms. Not everyone has the Bentley of the 
special tools required for the "correct" procedure.
