What your suggesting would certainly seem to work. I'm a real newbie
with this stuff, so the reason I selected the method I'm using is because I knew it to exist. :) I definately appreciate the concern. I picked my current method because I want to be able to measure the RPM ASAP. As a result of the RPM I'm going to alter the A/F ratio by modifying the air flow meter signal. I'm not certain where the tolerance levels lie, so rather than tempt fate I'm hoping to make the operation as fast as possible. I'll take a read of your link and see what I find. I didn't find diy- efi that usefull before, maybe I missed something.
