Hello!

Description of Function and Operation Electronic Control Engine Control

This controls fuel injection amounts, injection timing, the using the engine control module (ECM).

To my thinking, the sentence should read as follows:

This controls fuel injection amounts, injection timing, (by) using the engine control module (ECM).

What is your opinion?

Thank you.

That's quite a muddle, if I may say so. If the first phrase is a section heading and I've guessed correctly what it's supposed to say, this might work:

Electronic Engine Control Function and Operation

The Electronic Engine Control (EEC) uses the engine control module (ECM) to control fuel injection amounts and injection timing.
 
Hello!

Description of Function and Operation of Electronic Control Engine Control

This controls fuel injection amounts, injection timing, and use of the engine control module (ECM).

To my thinking, the sentence should read as follows:

This controls fuel injection amounts and injection timing through the use of the engine control module (ECM).

What is your opinion?

Thank you.

Well, it's one or the other. I don't know which. I'm not a mechanic.
 
injection amounts - quantity of fuel injected?
 
Yes, quantity of fuel.
