It doesn't have to calculate anything, it's just a lookup in the flow rate Delta & Offset tables to figure out which cell applies. It knows what the rail pressure is supposed to be (either fixed or no FPCM, or variable via FPCM+sensor), and it of course always knows what the MAP is. I wouldn't call comparing those two to get the Delta a calculation, it's just rail pressure minus MAP, something you can do in your head (even for a number-dyslexic like me).
But, does that work? Or does it still stay at the mechanically regulated 58 and all your desired pressure change is doing is getting the ECM to look up a different (wrong) flow rate/offset cell?In my ECM I have specified the fuel pressure to be 55 psi at all times.
(I am NOT an expert, at anything - other than maybe regular diagnostics. And maybe carburetor tuning. And cats.)
