I just don't understand why people have so many problems with CIS. It is the simplest of any injection system out there. D-jet electronic was extrememly sensitive to any changes in the electrical system. K-jet (CIS) is only mechanical, and controlled by vacuum. If the manifold and all the vacuum lines off of it are sealed, there's not much to go wrong with it. LH is another electronic system, and again subject to electrical gremlins, though not as bad as the D-jet.
I've driven four CIS injected 99s since '86 and traveled a good half a million miles, and rarely have to touch the injection system. The only time I've ever been stranded on the side of the road was when a fuel pump failed, and it probably would have run if I'd taken the cover off the trunk floor and rapped the pump a couple times. (The was SOP for British caars of the '60s and '70s.)
