  It's not an expensive part, (around $40) but it's a pain to install. 

  Also, have you visited www.sjmautotechnik.com ?  If you go to the section "The Secrets of High Boost" and go through all of the checkouts suggested by Scott Mockry as a pre-boost checkout, you'll find lots of tests and answers for this. I know it worked for me.

    Thats an interesting thought, I know the start position on my switch went
    bad at some point in its past, and a start button was wired in. How could i
    test that?
