Engine control system having pressure-based timing

A control system for an engine having a first cylinder and a second cylinder, the control system comprising:

• a first engine valve movable to regulate a fluid flow of the first cylinder;
• a first actuator associated with the first engine valve;
• a second engine valve movable to regulate a fluid flow of the second cylinder;
• a first sensor configured to generate a first signal indicative of a first pressure within the first cylinder;
• a second sensor configured to generate a second signal indicative of a second pressure within the second cylinder;
• and
• a controller in communication with the first actuator, the first sensor, and the second sensor, the controller being configured to:
• compare the first pressure with the second pressure;
• and
• selectively regulate the first actuator to adjust a timing of the first engine valve independently of the timing of the second engine valve based on the comparison.
