Re: [DML] Re: Carburator (David T)

["Bruce Benson" <delornut@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Car companies went to electronic controls for the primary reason of making
an engine that could deliver good fuel economy, meet emission requirements,
deliver smooth performance at every speed and still have high power
available on demand. With a computer controlling a number of things ranging
from fuel flow to valve timing engines can be very docile in everyday
driving and yet produce horsepower on demand equal to the old lumpy camed,
over carbureted, lousy idling engines that relied on fixed mechanical things
to produce horsepower at high RPM's while over feeding the engine at lower
speeds. It was something inevitable to meet both society and customer
demands in the 21st century. Why work backwards instead of trying to update
the DeLorean?
