... I was going to make a similar suggestion, but then I realized that 
he was talking about a non-turbo motor.  The CIS-E system in these cars
has an electro-hydraulic actuator for which Bentley describes the diag-
nosis.  To do this you will need a DMM with a 20mA scale and an adapter
that allows the ammeter to be added in series with the EHA.  Perhaps 
there is a lister who has details on these adapters and can provide 
details as to connector part numbers and how such an adapter could be 
built.
