Easier yes, but I wouldn't have thought it was drastically easier, especially since the engine is already computer monitored and controlled for a variety of other things.
The driver doesn't need to know, provided it's not harmful to reach the revs it limits at.
You already did it for me. Or if this is the second thread I made like that, it's because I typed it wrong again. I can't get out of that habit. and I know of no way in this newsreader to post to multiple groups without typing them in.
Limiters predated the widespread use of FI. While the industry has come a long way in the past 30 years there still is a tendency to stick with what worked in the past.
Apparently this is a new thing, older cars did, fuel injection and turbos have reduced the sudden drop.
Your client? I've had a news server whinge. I guess it's a good thing, it stops typos.
The only dimmer around here is you.
And now you must talk of the other kind.
The two roll-over wrecks I've been in had someone else behind the wheel, so no thanks.
But I wasn't talking to you I was talking to StupidCunt?. Anyone is safer behind the wheel than he is.

Be glad you didn't have any appendages outside the vehicles.
A safe life is a boring life.
Fortunately both were late in the year. One was on a wet leaf covered road. I'd remarked moments before we were going down the road backwards at 70 mph, 'You know, wet leaves are as bad as ice.' as a polite way of saying slow the f*ck down. Alfa Romeos don't hold up well when going end over end. Even better, it was his wife's car.
I had a cut over my eye so we wound up in the ER. As I lay there I heard a conversation 'I don't know if we can save the eye.' Luckily it was somebody else's eye in question. The doc who sewed me up spoke enough English to say he wasn't very good at suturing but a plastic surgeon would be able to fix it all up. Great.
That wasn't as bad as the Navy corpsman who threw away the novocaine in the suture kit. 'If I use that your facial muscles will sag and there might be a scar.'
I still have both sets. They add to my friendly appearance.
Agreed. But thats what he wants
yes they are a serious menace in the united kingdom, I've seen them up to 3 inches long
Driving into water whose depth is unknown is about as intelligent as running a red light
In other words, expected of 'commander kinsey'
Then you really should give up on the whacky weed and various other illegal substances.
Never!
Agreed, there are many pastimes and hobbies that are intrinsically safe and bring about pleasure.
Sex with a partner is one, but of course you won't know about that. Sometimes the quest is to live longer to enjoy those occasions, rather than take unnecessary risks which many feel are not enjoyable.
When you get a life, you'll understand.
For avoidance of doubt, I was referring to Mr Hucker's sexploits.
That's not "intrinsically safe" either. You don't know where the partner's been.
There is nothing in this world that's "safe". Life is all about risk. Specifically risk vs. reward.
When you figure it out...
Just how big a boy are you?

They don't have flood gauges in PA. We just let it flood. Then when people are stupid & get them and their kids killed pass a law. The fire co is experienced dealing with stupid people so we get called. Those big red trucks have good ground clearance but if you need longer arms you put the stick out. If you get swept down the creek we let the next downstream asset deal with it. The most interesting one was a car in the quarry pit. We determined it was in there awhile with no body in it and let the quarry extract it.
