23) What is computer controlled engine in hybrids?

A computer controlled engine is used in all hybrid vehicles to monitor a variety of factors, including engine speed, engine temperature, air temperature and engine load. This information is sent to a sophisticated computer, which then coordinates adjustments to the fuel injection and ignition system. This technology can optimize engine operation for emissions, performance and efficiency under varying driving conditions.
