Engine Control Module
The ECM is installed in the front passenger side of the engine compartment, on a bracket attached to the engine bulkhead.
The ECM has the capability of adapting its fuel and ignition control outputs in response to several sensor inputs.
The ECM receives inputs from the following:
- CKP sensor.
- CMP sensors (4 off).
- ECT sensors (2 off).
- Knock sensors (4 off).
- MAP sensor.
- MAFT sensors (2 off).
- Throttle position sensor.
- Heated oxygen sensors (4 off).
- APP sensor.
- Ambient air temperature sensor.
- FRP (fuel rail pressure) sensor.
