Hi all.

Scott Daniel Foss made mention of this book just recently. It was buried in
a thread I started but AFAIK, this is the book he referred to:

http://www.haynes.com/products/productID/52  Haynes 10205

From my POV of knowing a little about Motronic 2.9, but really not nearly
enough, this book provides clearly written "how and why" explanations of
typical engine management systems. Moreover, it covers basic trouble
shooting one should do prior to or in conjunction with trouble shooting the
engine management components and shows tools used etc. I found it
interesting to see just how similar the various components are throughout
the different vehicle manufacturers shown. It also gives good tips. Like
keeping spark plug wires at least 1" away from sensors or sensor circuit
wires.

IMO, a great book for someone interested in finding out more about an EFI
engine. The examples seem to circle around North American made cars, but do
include VW, Volvo, BMW's use of various Bosch systems.

Seems like a good meat and potatoes book.

Neil.
