It's not. Over the years, I've gone from stock DPFI D15B2 to a D16A6 with DPFI, to D16A6 with MPFI, to a D16Z6 with OBD-1 conversion.

Agreed, but in practice the voltage never hits 5.1 volts. When I bench tested the circuit with a 50K resistor and 5.1V zener, I could max out my power supply at 31-point-something volts and the voltage at the test point (the uP input in practice) only hit about 4.9V. I believe the rated voltage is at the diode's rated maximum current. I was using a pretty hefty zener current-wise, so the trickle of current through the 50K resistor at 12V was nowhere near that limit.
