Fuel is metered into each intake port in a sequential firing order. Fuel injectors pulse to follow engine firing
order, in accordance with engine demand, on a tuned intake manifold.
The basic fuel requirement of the engine is determined from the data supplied to the PCM by the MAF sensor,
which measures the amount of air being drawn into the engine.
