PCM not often covered,
By Gerard J. Sagliocca "gerard_socialcritic" (schenectady, ny United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Advanced Engine Performance Diagnosis (4th Edition) (Paperback)
This book like its prevuious editon does not cover PCM very much and many modern cars rely on PCM for igntion sytem proper functioning and diagnosis.
Forample the figure on showing Triggering and Switching both show the primary and secondary circuits with a crank sensor but do not show how the PCM plays a key role in the final functioning of the circuits. It is a big shame ! gerard sagliocca, p.e. gerard_sagliocca@yahoo.com
