Frequently Asked Questions:
Why choose a Gotech EFI engine management ECU system?
The Gotech EFI engine control unit is a fully stand alone programmable computer that optimizes your existing engine power.It is a reliable piece of equipment that you can get for your car, truck, boat or experimental aircraft.
Does the Gotech EFI unit produce extra power?
The stand alone engine control unit does not produce extra power. it is the vehicle's engine that makes the power and the Gotech computer simply optimizes the power of the engine.
What is an engine control unit?
An engine control unit (ECU), also known as power-train control module (PCM), or engine control module (ECM) is a type of electonic control unit that determines the amount of fuel, ignition timing and other parameters an internal combustion engine needs to keep running. It does this by reading values from multidimensional performance maps (so called LTU’s), using input values (e.g. engine speed) calculated from signals coming from sensor devices monitoring the engine. Before ECU's, air/fuel mixture, ignition timing, and idle speed were directly controlled by mechanicle and pneumatic sensors and actuators.
The electronic control unit (ECU) is a generic term for any system that controls one or more of the electrical systems or subsystems in a motor vehicle. Other terms for ECU include electronic control module (ECM), central control module (CCM), control unit, or control module. Taken together, these systems are sometimes referred to as the car's computer.
A sensor is a device that measures a physical quantity and converts it into a signal which can be read by an observer or by an instrument.
