So does my car. It doesn't measure any change. Nev.. '04 CBR1100XX

Umm, yeah, you rostered off? Strong enough for a _large_ beer :-) -----sharks -- Du verschwendest �bertragungskapazit�ten.

How does the engine management computer figure out the fuel > flow rate? On an EFI car, it _causes_ the fuel flow rate ... you can calculate it from the (fuel rail pressure - the manifold pressure) * (injector open time - fudge factor). -----sharks -- Du verschwendest �bertragungskapazit�ten.

What? You need to push harder to spin it but it doesn't get harder to spin? -----sharks -- Du verschwendest �bertragungskapazit�ten. |
