Re: curious about sfi



I was thinking (also) of converting the pulse width to counts feeding the
count value to a latched circuit for each injector and firing the
injector(synched) using the latched counts. being able to fire the injector
driver (in the ecm) 8 times per engine cycle would have just made it easier
(it would  only have to count and sequence not store the value). (whats a
wile e. coyote smiley look like)
