fuel injection

Does anyone know if a plc would be fast enough to control fuel injection/ignition for a car?

I've thought of this as well, but have come to the conclusion that a PLC would not be up to speed. Your best bet is to check out the "MegaSquirt" build it yourself EFI http://www.msefi.com/

Oh well, been looking at megasquirt, was hoping to use some of my ab stuff and also something familiar. Thanks

That was interesting! Thanks for sharing that link!

I had remembered hearing something about Johny Miller's Trans-Am car using Automation Direct equipment for some data acquisistion, interesting article. The processor speed required to control fuel injection, however, is way beyond what we're talking about here, though.
