The Electronic Control Assembly (ECA) is located in passenger compartment, under center console. It contains circuits designed to continuously sample input signals from the engine sensors. Optimum air/fuel ratio and ignition timing is calculated to meet conditions as indicated by these signals. The ECA then sends out appropriate signals to adjust air/fuel ratio and spark timing to optimum levels.

The ECA contains a memory and specific programming information as required to determine ideal operating conditions. Different calibration information is used in different vehicle applications, such as California or Federal models.
