ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for controlling an internal combustion engine is provided, the apparatus includes using a first crank angle position detector for generating a reference pulse at a predetermined crank angle period in synchronization with the rotation of a crank shaft of the internal combustion engine, and a second crank angle position detector for generating a crank angle pulse at a fixed crank angle period shorter than the period of the reference pulse. The operation of the internal combustion engine is controlled by using the reference pulse and the crank angle pulse, wherein the reference pulse is generated between the crank angle pulses. Further, an auxiliary pulse is generated from the second crank angle position detector upon generation of the reference pulse. The internal combustion engine is controlled by using the auxiliary pulse when the first crank angle position detector is not operating properly.
