Nice find. The following paragraph is where I really want to learn more...

Quote:
The Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) is a lightweight, compact system that ensures optimal air-fuel ratio by monitoring throttle position, engine temperature, intake-manifold pressure, intake-air mass flow atmospheric pressure, exhaust-gas oxygen content and intake-air temperature to control fuel delivery via multi-holed injectors mounted in the intake port of the cylinder head.
How these sensors play on one another is the key. I guess it's not unlike any other modern, fuel-injected plant, but at least the press release gives me the bank of sensors to collect and compare data values under different variables.

Frank -- I had to get the black one with dark interior (which was hard to find). It gives it a sportier look, IMO. But alas, it's no Tempo. I found out recently that my Wife's family had a Tempo back in the 90's (high school years -- until it was in a bad accident that totalled it ) It may have still been around today!
