Yes, 1kHz is no problem for ADC sampling, but the inference I took was that the ECU could make the motor's output go up or down by 5hp @ 1kHz. Even if it could direct the motor to do this, surely mechanical inertia would prevent it happening -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
