Could be wrong about that though!

With the advent of computer controls and ever faster response times in said controls, I think it's something that could be a reality today.

Using all the same sensors currently in use, possibly a few more, to define the "curves" necessary for each solenoid's map set.

The first thing I'd ever bother trying it out on would be a single cylinder briggs or something, though, because the designs are transcendent and if it works on a single cylinder, it shouldn't be /too/ hard to adapt to more, if we're to treat each cylinder of an engine like it should be, as an individual engine, independent of the other cylinders.
