In the modern world of EFI, our engines are controlled by a computer system that relies on input from several sensors. The ECU (electronic control unit) constantly evaluates these sensors to provide proper ignition timing and fueling to the engine. These sensors include the TPS (throttle position sensor), IAT (inlet air temperature), O2 for reading oxygen content in the exhaust, CAT (coolant temperature sensor), and a bevy of others, all for the purpose of keeping the engine running within its programmed parameters. With OBDII and today's available electronic tuners/monitors, virtually anyone can scan the parameters of the engine, even in real time.
