ECM Fault?

[Akselrud, Boris]

Are you absolutely sure that there can be any additional asynchronous pulses
in between? I thought that enrichment is achieved in a normal way - by
decreasing the time between pulses.

These pulses are the result of "acceleration enrichment".  Your ECM is
sensing the TPS opening, and/or the MAP pressure increasing, and/or it
is opening the IAC.  All three events will cause extra fuel to be
injected asyncronously of the normal injection.

The question here is - is the AE the cause of your unsteady idle, or is
the unsteady idle causing the AE?
