I would think that a vehicle speed sensor would have something to do with this also.

On a side note, it's really kind of funny. I used to think some carburetors were complicated(especially when I took the top off my first Quadrajet and springs and ball bearing flew out). And when fuel injection came along in 1985 It was intimidating because we knew so little about it and we couldn't adjust it. But it has proven so reliable that we seldom give it a second thought. At least until I get behind a 1970 Chevelle at a red light and you have to turn your A/C to max air because you're choking on the fumes from a rich carb condition! Probably not too many that can/will work on a carb motor these days. Or setting the points on the ignition. My, haven't we come a long way!?
