I'm not sure about the speed they were running at though. I think an 18F452 would be enough to run a fuel injected setup with some additional A/D peripherals. This schematic is for the 749 ECM which is a 2bar version of the 730 ECM that was used in almost every GM multiport fuel injected setup from 86-92: http://www.cruzers.com/~ludis/1227749schematic.html -- Alex Harford http://www.alexharford.com alex-spam@alexharford.com Tel: (604) 738-5674 -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
