The thing is, you don't really need to know electronics to hack on these 
GM ECMs, or Megasquirt, if you get an assembled/tested kit. You do need 
to do car electric stuff, but you know that.

Basically it's divide-and-conquer diagnostics, and wading through all 
the confusing crap out there. The GM ECM, and I'm sure all the others 
like it, have to work in the WORST POSSIBLE envionments. They made 
millions of these things, and they're as reliable as anything, and 
better than most.

Man, if you can REALLY tune a carburetor, I mean like get all the 
various circuits working, like a Weber's major tunable systems, this is 
the same, logically speaking. It's about as subjective and "squishy" but 
  unlike a carb, things have hard and fast reasons for happening, not 
like "a nick in the emulsion tube" type crap.

Damn, it sounded like this was improving. I'd be scared too, and pissed off!
