[Diy_efi] Measuring Pulse Width/Duty Cycle of an Injector?

[Marcello A. Belloli]

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.
