3 out of 5 stars 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.


4 out of 5 stars 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.


5 out of 5 stars The theory from the creators   March 19, 2008
A.H. (home)
So, now you finally know how it is really made.. From the engineers of the systems, this is the definitive theory. It does not tell you how to increase your mileage, nor is it the best troubleshooting guide out there. The basics are really detailed and it makes you see how it works. Must have for Bosch FI cars (Jetronic/Motronic)


4 out of 5 stars excellent starting point for working onBosch EFI systems   January 1, 2008
nomis3613
For anyone tinkering with an EFI engine, this book is great for learning the principles of operation. Even better if you've got a pre-1992 Bosch system because it goes through the components of these systems.

Starts with overall injection theory, explains the "families" of fuel injection, then how to troubleshoot problems. It finishes by talking about the implications of modifying your EFI engine. It's not a guide for how to get maximum power from Engine X, but it explains the benefits and limitations of the bosch systems for modified engines.

The naming of Motronic systems are confusing, but this is Bosch's fault as much as anything else.



2 out of 5 stars Bosch Fuel injection and Engine Management   October 11, 2007
Martin Buckley (Aiken, SC USA)
A good general overview of the Bosch fuel injection systems but no diagnostic help for the ECM or ECU for the L-Jetronic. This is disappointing, you would think that these authors could tell you how to check the various functions of the control unit. If you want a light read with no real help, go for it.
