Good looking car, handled reasonably. I knew it was a problem before I bought it but it was 1975, the car was only 4 years old and I was 16. This approach required additional sensors to measure the atmospheric pressure and temperature, to ultimately calculate "air mass". Being a GM and European car guy, these were always disappointing.

The Electrojector patents were subsequently sold to Bosch. The pressure drop across the restrictions in the control unit controls the amount of fuel flow, so that fuel flow is directly proportional to the pressure at the flow divider. This system was not a "pulse" or intermittent injection, but rather a constant flow system, metering fuel to all cylinders simultaneously from a central "spider" of injection lines.
