Processor Assembly
The processor assembly contains circuits designed to:
- Continuously sample the 7 engine sensor input signals for analysis.
- Convert the input signals to a form usable by the computer section in calculations.
- Choose the proper operating strategy (base engine, modulator, or limited operational) for the operating conditions.
- Perform spark, EGR, air/fuel ratio, canister purge, throttle kicker and other calculations.
- Send electrical output control signals to the ignition module and control solenoids to adjust timing and dwell, EGR flow rate, thermactor air mode, and throttle kicker mode.
The processor assembly also provides a continuous reference voltage (about 9 volts) to the sensors.
