Two factors govern all fuel injectors: pressure and time are used to calculate fuel flow into an engine. Pressure nor time can’t be used on their own to determine how much fuel the engine is using or to correct a wayward fuel trim number.

Though not as objectively offensive to your eyes as the BMW M Division, modern Mercedes-AMG products can be hit or missed in the looks department.
