Then there is the 3D space cam that works with the flyweights and throttle position and barometric compensator and the thermostat to change the fuel delivery based on load, engine speed, air pressure, etc.
By that I mean the fuel is only injected into the cylinder when it is drawing air in. The injectors turn on and off rather than just adjusting flow rate like the Continuous Injection System.
