DESCRIPTION
The computerized engine control system, used on 2.5L models
with throttle body fuel injection, is built around an electronic
control unit (ECU). The ECU is a microprocessor-based computer.
The major function of the system is to reduce emissions. It
accomplishes this through a series of 13 sensors or switches that
constantly monitor several engine conditions. See Fig. 16.

The computer processes input information from the sensors to
get an accurate picture of engine operation. It then provides output
control signals to regulate air/fuel ratio, ignition, idle speed and
