It adjusts ignition or injection timing to ensure the engine runs efficiently under different loads. | Function | Description | | :--- |
When an engine "gasps" or "shakes," the issue is often traced back to a specific terminal. For example, a bad ground connection at the ECU can cause internal passenger relays to tick rapidly because the ECU cannot provide a stable ground signal.
