	Electronic control unit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		An electronic control unit (ECU) (also known as an engine management system) is an electronic device, basically a computer, in an internal combustion engine that reads several sensors in the engine and uses the information to control the fuel injection and ignition systems of the engine.
		Because the ECU is dealing with actual measured engine performance from millisecond to millisecond, it can compensate for many variables that traditional systems cannot, such as ambient temperature, humidity, altitude (air density), fuel octane rating, as well as the demands made on it by the driver.
		Earlier ECU designs were based more on analogue computer circuitry, due to the fact that for analogue circuits processing speed is not an issue.
