ABSTRACT:
A crank angle sensor outputs a crank angle signal pulse every when a crankshaft rotates a predetermined crank angle. A time period sufficient for rotating a crankshaft between adjacent crank angle signal pulses is measured. The time period is referred to as a rotating time period. A next rotating time period between pulses including a next required ignition timing is estimated based on the rotating time period measured at a time when an engine speed is lower than a predetermined value. Then, a start timing at which a primary current begins to be supplied is set based on the next timing period.
