What is it that I want to monitor? Emissions-wise, the usual suspects. CO, C02, HC, NOx, 02, and Opacity for diesels.

I actually have a larger agenda than the family cars. I'll introduce our vehicles and stationary test engines here later. They are to include not only motive-power-wheeled applications but motive-power-marine and power generation as well. With a bit of bloomin' luck I might even be able to get my hands on an aircraft engine for stationary fiddling about with.

bottom line your monitoring of the end result will have little to no effect on FE if the system is operating as designed

That is true, of course.

Please remember that I am of an earlier era and have not gotten quite up to speed yet on all the new-fangled tech. Just this week I've been delving into MAP and MAF sensors. Please also be aware that I'm a control freak. I hope that I've mostly gotten over my desire to control people, but that has probably only exacerbated my desire to understand and control machines and systems.

When I go whole-hog to do something, I guess I may go a little overboard. I read about ICE research and think, "Well, spit! I could do that!"

This is all Dotter's fault. That and my continuing curiosity.

>> there is much to be learned before you spend 1 penny on any test equipment

Yes, this is true, of course. Old Dad is "back in school" and I assure you that old dogs can learn new tricks.

Thank you most kindly for your helpful input. Don't hesitate. I need all the help I can get!

then think on it for a while , it will be a journey , a long journey .

Ayup. Based on everything that's come before, I expect so.
