engine speed: 12000 ± 500 rpm, electronically governed 2800-3200 rpm idle
..does electronically governed refer to "12000 ± 500 rpm" or to "2800-3200 rpm"? (based on the comma I would say the second, but text punctuation is sometimes inaccurate)

I'm presuming it's the engine that's electronically governed, so the expression refers to both running and idle

suerte.

entiendo que gracias al control electrónico tiene mayor rango de rpm, mientras que no lo tiene cuando "nadie" lo gestiona.

En todo caso, es muy delicado/peligroso equivocarse en esto y deberías indicarlo al cliente. Quizás incluso deba modificar el doc fuente (no sería la primera vez) ;-)

well, I'm sorry for my Spanish explanations.
I think that this means that the motor when is electronically governed has more range that when is iddle and "nobody" takes the control. But it would mean also the contrary, maybe this "govern" is in order to get a more accurate control over the rpm...
Nevertheless, ask the client, this is a high risk question.
Maybe I'm not helping at all.. :(

I think there is a comma missing after this piece: only the operating speed is kept as constant as possible (+/- 500 rpm) by an electronic feedback circuit (controlled would have been a better term IMO); it seems unlikely this is also used for the idle speed, esp. considering the permissable range

: why wouldn't the idle speed be governed too? It is 3000 +/- 200

had they phrased it like that, I would have agreed with you, but as I'd say it probably depends on some mechanical adjustment but w/o feedback

Raúl Waldman
: I agree that a comma is missing; the control method of idle speed is irrelevant for this question.

: Yes, my Audi has an electronic governor that stops it from exceeding 126 mph. Usually, these things just provide a maximum, but with electronics they may regulate both speeds. My bet is that the comma is missing.

: there is a comma missing ... but for the translation Elena needs to know if the idle speed is governed too.
