What was the first year a computer was used in the Corvette?
1982 I believe was the first year to use any sort of computer in
a corvette. The last of the C3, the 1982 was the first to use any
kind of fuel injection since 1965. It used throttle body injection,
which was a kind of carbeuration/fuel injection hybrid. The system
used a crude (by today's standards) computer to monitor fuel/air
ratios. It could make about 11 adjustments per second. For 1984,
the throttle body injection on the corvette returned, this time
able to make more calculations per second-around 80, I think. This
was the last of year of throttle body injection in the corvette and
the foret year of the C4. In 1985, the corvette received TPI
(tunnnel port) injection.
