Also, the electronic throttle control increases intake manifold pressure when the cylinders are deactivated so that the torque load in the V4 mode is maintained at the V8 level. Essentially, the engine's "brain," the ECM regulates fuel feed in response to throttle position, air intake, engine temperature, rpm level and manifold pressure. The changes - reduced manifold pressure from 37 to 36 inches and a 3-inch extension of the Handford Device on the rear wing to increase drag - were made specifically to reduce speeds for the two 500-mile superspeedway races, the July 22 Michigan 500 and the season-finale Marlboro 500 at California Speedway on Nov. |
