Computerized Engine Controls: Summary

Computerized engine controls are becoming common and may soon be used on all engines. The computer is simply a decision-making unit that receives information from sensors and sends commands to control devices. Although control units perform many of the "tuning" functions once performed by a service technician, they have not eliminated the competent repairman. A great service opportunity is waiting for people who, with the proper resources, can accurately diagnose and repair computerized engine control systems.
