Abstract
A basic pulse width T.sub.p is determined in accordance with the throttle valve opening and speed of an engine, and the basic pulse width T.sub.p is corrected when the peak value of cylinder pressures exceeds a given range established by the average value of the peak pressure values.
Claims1
A fuel control system for an internal combustion engine having at least one cylinder with an injector, comprising:
- first means for inputting a throttle opening .theta..sub.th and an engine speed N.sub.e to generate a basic injection pulse width T.sub.p ;
- second means for detecting a peak value .theta..sub.pmax of pressures in said cylinder of said engine during each cycle thereof to calculate an average value .theta..sub.pmax of said peak values and determine whether a difference (.theta..sub.pmax -.theta..sub.pmax) between said average value .theta..sub.pmax and a peak value .theta..sub.pmax during each cycle is within a tolerance .epsilon. whereby when said difference is greater than said tolerance a correction factor .alpha. is established in a direction tending to decrease said difference;
- third means for calculating an injection time T.sub.i of said injector in accordance with said basic injection pulse width T.sub.p from said first means and said correction factor .alpha.;
- and
- fourth means for energizing said injector for the duration of said injection time T.sub.i from said third means.
