ABSTRACT:
A system for use in shutting down a motor vehicle engine upon elapse of selected sensed input conditions, comprises an electronic digital counter which begins counting in response to the occurrence of any of the selected input conditions. Logic gates and warning devices are also associated with the counter circuit. When a predetermined count is reached, it is considered indicative of excessive idle, and consequently the ignition circuit is automatically interrupted to thereby shut down the engine and conserve fuel. Prior to the actual engine shutdown the warning devices may give a pre-warning of impending shutdown.
