Plugs, wires cap rotor all new. Temperature sending unit new. How would one determine the duty cycle?
Any thoughts? Thanks for your input.

The "ECU", in Bosch terminology, is called a Lambda Controller. It operates the Electro-Hydraulic Actuator (EHA) on the Fuel Distributor (FD) to adjust the fuel/air ratio. The only other output signal is to the relay that switches the air injection pump on & off. Inputs are O2 sensor, engine speed, coolant temp, air temp (some models), baro pressure, air flow sensor position, WOT & idle throttle position, and vehicle speed.
The "programming", such as it is, is fixed, and is non-adaptive. What you see is what you get, installed by Bosch, with no provision for field boot-up or re-boot. It either works, or does not.

On the later units, such as yours, the duty cycle can be determined by the use of the Bosch tester specific to the KE system.
