John bond - you asked if its possable to get the pulsewidth from monitoring only the throttle, RPM, temp and O2. yes you can, but it wont be near as good as haveing a map sensor to detect the manifold abu(expletive)e pressure. with out a map or maf, it will inject a pre determind amount according to throttle and rpm, but it dosnt account for engine load and altitude. so the o2 sensor will work away to correct the ratio( a narrow band O2 sensor only works a low rpm. thats the problem i think i had, at high rpm my engine leans out and back fires) so for sudden changes in opporating conditions it wount work as good. but detecting the air comming into the engine gives a pretty good indication of whats going on therefor it can adjust the pulswidth accordingly. well as far as i understand. if i were to add sensors it would be a humittity sensor. it would help out in calcuatling air comming into the engine. thats probably about it ---------- End of Message ---------- You can view the post on-line at: http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=7&p=1&m=192262#m192745 Need assistance?
