You will find specific information on the newest KE-Motronic and LH-Motronic systems that is not available from any other source.

Now his complete service and maintenance procedures, with expert advice and troubleshooting tips, are available to you. A sampling of areas covered in the book are listed below: Theory: How each system works How to troubleshoot problems and service each system What tools and equipment are needed How engine idle speed is controlled and can be adjusted How to adjust air-fuel mixture Understanding air measurement and fuel metering How engine management systems adjust timing for gasoline octane and turbo boost Racing and high performance modifications: what works and what doesn't Probst clarifies advantages and operating principles of each Bosch system and explains how they work to deliver maximum engine efficiency. He also gives you high-performance tuning secrets that really work to deliver maximum engine efficiency. He also gives you high-performance tuning secrets that really work for street and racing applications, and tells you why some tricks like "fooling" the computer don't.

 Very good, but dated November 6, 2009
K. Jones
If you have read any of Probst's books you know what to expect: good, clear textbook-liked explanations, except not as dry as most textbooks. The only reason I didn't rate it higher is, it only covers systems through early 1990's, and Amazon doesn't tell you that. The book cover led lead me to believe it covers more than it does, too. Of the Motronics, only the earliest versions are discussed. The book is Copyright 1989 and 1991, but I don't know when it was printed. Probst died in 2000. So, if you are specifically interested in understanding how 1980's Bosch FI systems work, this is the book to buy. What is covered, is covered well. To learn how to apply this knowledge to repair and tuning, keep looking. One suggestion, check out the VWVortec list on the web.
Read this book before you mess with it July 21, 2009

Gives a comprehensive and understandable description of theory and operation applicable to most fuel injection systems, with specifics for Bosch systems. Does not seem to have been revised since the copyright date of 1991, so may not cover later developments.
For myself, a retired and ageing engineer with his first injection cars, it bridges the gap between following instructions in manufacturers' workshop manuals and understanding what I am actually doing.
Should be required reading for some car dealers' service staff, many of whom are little more than spare parts changers nowadays. I fix my own stuff - I can go out myself and buy little boxes to swap if that's what's really needed. 90% all of electrical problems are down to bad wiring connexions anyway!

This is The book for any bosch fuel system newbie. This is not a "how to hotrod.." type book but your hotrodding effort would be so much better if you knew how the systems worked and that is where this book shines.
Very good overwiew of Bosch EFI September 6, 2008
E. Kitani (Brazil)
It is a very easy book to understand and can be usefull for those want only to know how the Bosch's EFI works. There are several photos and diagrams showing how to troubleshooting and service a real EFI.
A good addition for a CIS troubleshooter... August 21, 2008
Jim Patko (Birmingham, Alabama USA)
I can't speak to the other Bosch systems, but anybody who owns a CIS Porsche and is interested in understanding (stock up on beer) and troubleshooting the Bosch CIS will benefit from this book. Since I bought this book for my SC with CIS, I now also have a Turbo with CIS, and so I expect this book to stay with me forever.
