    Probably, yeah.  Ideally, you'd want a fast microprocessor with
    powerful timers, a large memory space accessible through an
    external address/data bus, analog inputs, maybe an analog output
    or two, etc.

    Motorola and Intel, among others, have micros that were
    specifically designed for automotive engine-management
    applications; you may have better luck with one of those than
    with a PIC.
