There's also a feedback loop from O2 sensor and knock sensor where fitted which moves around in the tables according to the feedback (if the o2 says it's a bit rich, knock n milliseconds off the injector times), if knock sensor says it's knocking retard injector and ignition timing etc > > If you have a running total of fuel used based on the chemical reaction, you > > have a better indication than fuel flow as it relates to the chemistry, i.e. > > irreversible chemical reaction that converts fuel to energy.
