The difficulty is that any microcomputer system aimed at engine
management
has to talk to sensors and activators. And circuit design is mainly
based
on the practice (and thus time), even if some amount of theory is
required. You can not learn the practice in books.
The better way is probably to start building already existing designs,
like megasquirt
www.bgsoflex.com/megasquirt.html

The other solution is to wait until the 
homepages.ihug.com.au/~jharm/kit.htm
kit becomes available, if the software is open source.
For the moment no precisions have been disclosed about the
implementation,
but the ECU seems to be an interesting design as it can manage fuel and
ignition.
