Title: motronic timing
Post by: tim_s on March 27, 2006, 01:32:16 PM

hi guys,
anyone know if the motronic timing relies on the load signal?

Yes.  The AFM provides the Load input, and the ignition timing maps are definitely influenced by it.  And obviously the fueling is too.

cheers, i thought so, just couldn't remember whether it was just rpm-based (and obv all the enrichments) for the timing. you're 100% on that yeah?
