Sorry for the late post on this. 
Someone inquired as to the accuracy of the posted pulse width meters.
The one I posted "PWMETER" that used a 16f876 counts 1 us clock pulses,
so I think it will provide the accuracy you need and then some.

Honda Acura OBD 0 cars used a system of Peak and pulse width modulate.
I
am not sure if this was or is a bosch system.  I didn't know I was going
to have to deal with these until I was halfway done with everything
else. 
All I know is it sucks.  The later type used in OBD I cars just reduces
the voltage.  And doesn't make my head hurt.
