.
Special
equipment
is
necessary
for
some
of
the
procedures
given
in

.
If
you
do

the

it
is
recommended
that
these

be
left
to
an

completely
electronic

Air
flow
is
measured
electronically
via
a
mass
air
flow
sensor
and
additional
sensors
supply
information
about
en-
gine
operating
conditions
.
The
ECM
calculates
the
amount
of
fuel
needed
for
the
correct
air-fuel
ratio
and
actuates
the
fuel
injectors
accordingly
.
The
amount
offuel
metered
to
theen-
gine
is
determined
by
how
long
the
injectors
are
