Car Brains with an Engine Control Module

When buying a new engine control module (ECM), it is important to understand what it exactly does. As the 'brain' of the car, it analyzes information to automatically manage and control engine performance. This information comes from different sensors that send data to the ECM.

FuelMaxx Fuel Maximizer Control Module (21st Century Snake Oil) Introduction: In a recent posting on the Mustang Forums a fellow asked about the FuelMaxx 'performance chips' being sold on eBay, he was excited by the prospect of adding 30 HP and 4 MPG with just a $22 investment and was seeking advice from his fellow forum members as to the value of the unit-to their distinct credit the forum.

ECM Functions

Air/Fuel Ratio: An ECM measures the air and fuel mixture inside an engine cylinder during combustion. Depending on various factors such (gas pedal pressure, engine temperature, etc.), it automatically injects the right amount of fuel that will give enough power.
Ignition Timing: In cases where the spark plugs ignite earlier or later during the compression stroke, the ECM automatically corrects the timing and sequencing right. This is done to avoid knocking which can badly hurt the engine.
Idle Speed: During idling, when the engine is least needed, the ECM adjusts the power output so that fuel is not wasted.
Valve Timing: For engines with variable valve timing, the ECM adjusts the opening of these valves to allow the right amount of air in depending on the car's speed.

Aftermarket ECMs

With the many capabilities of an ECM, its accuracy can greatly affect the engine. While a stock ECM does those tasks well, an upgraded one does better in improving engine performance. Some aftermarket units are pre-programmed to fit certain models to bring out the best performance from its engine.

Programmable ECMs are for serious tuners, or those with highly tuned car. Using a spreadsheet program, a tuner can put more accurate engine settings to maximize the engine's potential. Some of the many areas programmable ECMs can control are the following: RPM limit, water temperature, gear control, transient fueling. It is advisable to buy this for a more customized, personalized setup for your car.

Make sure to buy only from a trusted and proven brand to ensure the quality of your purchase. Your car's engine is too valuable to risk being controlled by a faulty computer.

The fuel control module in your car is a crucial bit of machinery. With its numerous components, it controls how efficiently your fuels are used to cool, control and run your vehicle.

Components

Inside your fuel control module are different pieces that control how your fuel is used. There is a piston-metering pump to run and cool internal machinery like the motor. There is also a flow divider that uses pressure-sensitive output flow valves to distribute fuel to the burner nozzles.

Inner Feedback Loop

Alongside the pump and the flow divider, there is an inner feedback loop that controls the flow of fuel into the engine. The inner feedback loop works to ensure that the ratio balance between the air and fuel is maintained.
