How Can the car run without a comp??

Featured Replies

I was noticing all the threads revolving around carbs and computers and I happen remember my last sub.. it was an "84 Wagon 5spd and the computer was gone.. nothing but the plug and the holes where it bolted but the car still run great. HOW is that possible????

because the computer controlled the fuel mixture, nothing more

More specifically, the computer controls "leaning out" the fuel mixture for emissions. Fail-safe...

Oh... ok... Before I fell for subs and played with nissans and if u pulled the computer out of those it wouldn't run at all... but they where fuel injected cars where this one was carbed so not as much to operate. Makes since now, thanks!

similarly if you pull the ecu out of an spfi or mpfi soob it wont run
