A sensor is not a computer (at least in my mind)

Sensors consist of a microprocessor(s), so strictly speaking it is a computer. Sensor however would probably be the most appropriate term to use as they feed information to the ECU. And you can have sensors for every thing under the sun. Throttle position sensor, steering angle sensor, G sensor, ABS sensor etc etc etc.
