ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for controlling spark advance based on a fuel modifier. Initially, engine fueling is reduced according to a known dynamic crankshaft fuel control (DCFC) methodology. As a result, the engine tends to run rougher. In response, spark advance is varied based on the overall fuel multiplier reduction from the DCFC methodology. For instance, a look-up table, or mathematical function based on the DCFC multiplier can be utilized as the basis for the spark advance.
