I was wondering how the ECU would adjust for changes in fuel/temperature/pressure without closed loop operation.
it adjusts the same way it does in the open loop portion of the map, and the same way every open loop ecu works: the environmental sensors.
as to whether or not something is closed loop or open loop it depends on the model and year. all siemens ecu are closed loop, std or dp. as are the Mitsubishi ecu in the mts 1200 and diavel. the marelli ecu depend on model, only 848 is closed loop in dp from memory.
