Iorga Department of Mechanics, “Politehnica” University of Timisoara, Faculty of Mechanics, 300222 Timisoara, Romania Keywords: Engine Control Unit, Lambda control, Air/Fuel Ratio, Performances, Efficiency Abstract Nowadays, the vehicles are controlled by the Engine Control Unit (ECU), which is able to control the parameters of the engine involved in performances engine evolution. When we talk about programmable ECU, we have to take into consideration a system which can managed the sensors signals, in order to increase the power and the torque of the engine. Dedicated software was used to manage parameters, like lambda sensor, air fuel ration, coolant temperature, etc. with consequences in power and torque of the engine. Also we monitor and the exhaust of the engine, and as much is possible, to keep them in legal limits. The paper presents the control of the engine using the advantage of the programmable ECU.
