So while computer controlled fuel and ignition systems have the potential to be infinitely superior, it can only reach that potential in the hands of an experienced, competent tuner. Which, in the real world, rarely happens. Sorta like a carburetor.



While I don't necessarily agree, I can hear what you're saying about the ability of many to tune, but I think the reason most don't is because they simply don't want to learn. Much like a carb, there's nothing magic about EFI. Having the correct tools and a working knowledge of internal combustion engines can yield results for anyone who wants to take the time to do it correctly.

I'd also be interested in hearing what EFI systems have become obsolete and/or unable to service? Exactly what service parts are you talking about?
