RMG,
This very old-school video is a
must see for people new to CIS and who want to learn about it; it gives excellent, simplified descriptions of the components and what their roles are.

One thing for sure is getting familiar with the terminologies associated with K-Jet will really help you ask questions that the very experienced, CIS folks who are active in the 911 forum will understand.
Eight-ten years ago, I knew almost nothing of CIS, but had a mechanical background, so by reading, and putting my hands on the components, have really learned a lot about the system and can competently troubleshoot problems (no expert, like some in the 911 forum, by any means). I "had" to learn CIS in order to own the car that I do, as I would not be able to pay a shop to work on it. The point is, there is no black magic or soul selling involved.
