ABSTRACT:
An engine control apparatus and method for accurately controlling the operation of an engine such as ignition, fuel injection, etc., particularly in the high-speed range or during a sudden change in the rotational speed of the engine. A signal generator generates a positional signal in the form of pulses representative of a reference piston position of each cylinder in synchrony with the rotation of the engine. A sensor means senses the operating conditions of the engine. A control unit in the form of a microcomputer, which includes a timer means for controlling the operations of the corresponding cylinders, calculates, based on the positional signal and the output signal of the sensor means, control times for controlling the corresponding cylinders at every reference piston position, and determine, at every reference piston position, whether the timer means has already done control on the cylinders. If the timer means has yet to do control on the cylinders, the control unit resets or updates the dimer means to new control times which are calculated at the present reference piston position for controlling the present operations of the cylinders. On the other hand, if the timer means has already done control on the cylinders, the control unit sets the timer means to new control times which are calculated at the present reference piston position for controlling the next operations of the cylinders.
