Engine Sensors
In order to provide the correct amount of fuel for
every operating condition, the engine control unit
(ECU) has to monitor a huge number of input
sensors. Here are just a few:
Engine Sensors
Spark Timing
Minimizing emissions,
emissions, take priority when maximum
power is not required:
Retarding the spark timing reduces maximum cylinder
pressures and temperatures can be reduced. Lowering
temperatures helps reduce the formation of nitrogen
oxides (NOx)
Retarding the timing may also eliminate knocking;
some cars that have knock sensors will do this
automatically.
