Calculating percentage is a small step away then.

On my Diesel it will be a lookup value in a table based on factors like engine speed, temp, throttle position and air flow. But I still wonder how it knows what the max is to work out how much of it you are using.
To amplify a little. To work out % torque you would need to know for the current engine speed how much torque your engine
can make at max, and then how much you
are making now.
Or is it just fuel load, how much fuel is being added compared to how much could be added ?
