The Use of Microprocessors for Electronic Engine Control

By the 1984 model year, virtually all spark-ignition passenger cars sold in the United States will contain microprocessor-based electronics to meet prescribed emissions and fuel economy levels. Effective implementation of engine control strategies to meet these objectives through the use of electronics, particularly microprocessor-based electronics. depends on a broad knowledge of many diverse engineering disciplines-from basic concepts of emissions control, through microprocessor and semiconductor memory architecture and operation.
