ABSTRACT:
Electronic engine synchronization and timing apparatus for use in controlling fuel injection and/or spark ignition for an internal combustion engine is disclosed. An engine crankshaft rotates a rotary body having a plurality of radial projections, and a single crankshaft reluctance sensor is utilized to provide pulses in response to the passage of these projections and thereby provide a signal related to crankshaft position. An engine camshaft rotates a rotary body with radial projections at half of the crankshaft speed, and a pair of camshaft sensors provide signals in response to the passage of the camshaft projections which are indicative of the rotational position of the camshaft. The signals provided by the crankshaft and camshaft sensors are received by circuitry which provides a crankshaft reference signal having transitions of alternate predetermined polarities at specific rotational positions of the crankshaft and also provides cylinder identification signals which are indicative of the angular rotational position of the camshaft rotary body. These signals are then utilized by conventional electronic fuel injection and/or spark ignition control apparatus to control engine cylinder operations in the proper sequence and at the proper time.
