Question about EEC at WOT

[BMan5150]

What sensors are still feeding info to the EEC during WOT operation? IAT? MAF? TPS? Oil Pressure? Oil Temp?

I've read up a few things about the EEC on my 01 and I'm just trying to determine if at WOT (open loop) the air/fuel is totally controlled by pre-set WOT tables or if the EEC still reads/factors in some of the various sensors on the car.

Please, no speculation. I'm looking for an answer from someone who is very familiar with OBD and the EEC. Thanks!

Your request begs the question, "Why" do you want to know....?

I can tell you for sure that the MAF readings are still used because the PCM still needs to know how much air is being pulled into the engine. The TPS reading is still used because the PCM still needs to know how far the throttle is depressed and MAP assists in controlling fuel pressure as far as I know.

I believe at WOT (open loop) the tables for load, timing and injector pulse width are read from the EEC. The primary difference is that the computer stops using the O2 sensor readings to control a/f mix.

This is just some of the information I've gained - I am by no means an expert on the EEC or OBD.

Thanks, this is helpful. So, if I'm interpreting this correctly, most of the sensors are still being "read" by the EEC but the EEC uses pre-set timing & injector pulse data from data tables imbedded in the EEC?

Also, what's "MAP"? Thanks!

MAP - Manifold Absolute Pressure. Decrease in MAP = Increase in Fuel Pressure.

Maybe some of the more knowledgeably guys will have more to add or PM white99gt or Sam98 - both are very versed in the EEC-V.

Cool - thanks again for the input.
