AEI
The AEI unit runs the car according to the parameters defined by the information it recieves from various slave components, (ie sensors).
When one of these components breaks/malfunctions the AEI (usually) realises this and reverts back to a default mode where it takes a mean reading of information stored from that component.
Thats why they can run rubbish when there is a sensor out, but on the other hand can run reasonably well, It depends on how often you reset the system (disconnect the battery for a while). I was running with 2 sensors out for a while and didnt notice a change really, only found out when I ran it through a diagnostic. Also I drive the same all the time (boost it everywhere LOL)
SO, if you drive like a girl and it has a fault pop up, then you RR it that could explain crap power.
Anyone know a RR centre with an XR25 or Snapon terminal?
