Fwd: Re: Timing being pulled back? With links to the graphs

Sat Dec 14 11:26:56 EST 2002

Well, Claus, now I have the verdict and this proves that either you didn't
remember correctly what Ned told you, or Ned told you BS or Ned doesn't
know what the chips are doing????

Here is the answer WRT MAF sensor (I did a copy/paste of what you wrote to
me and sent it to him) from a person I know in Germany and who is a Dipl.
Ing. in engine management systems (also chiptuning) and who's a tuner himself:

""absoluter quatsch. ich habe die damos beschreibung von bosch mit allen
formeln.""

So this means that the ECU uses the MAF sensor from idle to redline... I'd
rather spend 4 years looking at the maps inside the chips than reading
Probst's book because maybe he's right on the basics and on general ECU
description, but when it comes to the 20vt engines Motronic systems, it
just ain't right.

HTH,

Mihnea
