Most of it is diagnostics. A timing curve and oxygen feedback is the majority of what is needed to make the car function normally.
I'm very well aware, but doing that well enough to run all the time, every time without blowing up the engine is not easy. I used to build and tune race cars for a long while. It's not simple.
Ive designed engine controls, also speaking from experience
Then it's easy for a big brain (meant as a compliment) for you.
Point is that its possible. Granted, yes you can screw up an engine if your controls arent working properly
Gah y’all are such nerds I love y’all
