Paladin2,

I would love to see a BYPASS of electronic controls when there is an ECM related component failure.

My point is that everything in a vehicle can be working great except one sensor or combination of ECM-Sensor failure can create an extremely dangerous situation. It would be nice to flip on a BYPASS to make sure control of the vehicle is maintained.

I know some in the EPA and elsewhere will snicker and say “well, then drivers will just go to BYPASS and leave it that way”.

But going to BYPASS can be designed to flash external lights, turn on horns, etc. to compel the situation to be temporary.

I’m off to Seafair. Enjoy your day.

You are still totally ignorant of the reliability increases of engine control systems over the last 50 years.

Can sudden failures still occur?

Yep.

Are they more frequent than in the daze of yore ?

Nope, you Dope.
