[Diy_efi] Nissan KA24E ECU and CAS

[Tom Visel]

1. ECU will get all sorts of stupid without CAS.  Anything from not 
running at all to limp-in.
2. Don't know.
3. 360 slots, photocoupler-read, conditioning circuit inside the 
distributor.  4 more slots, also read by a photocoupler, with a 
conditioning circuit inside the distributor.  Subject to fouling with 
oil if the distributor bushing is loose.  Altima uses the same 
electrical setup but mounted to the back of the head, and is easier to 
find in the JY for testing purposes.

HTH!
