Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0684375A1] The regulation system uses a sensor for detecting the position of the engine crankshaft, with simultaneous monitoring of the crankshaft revs by evaluating the crankshaft position signal, to control the fuel injection and ignition timing pulses supplied to the engine. The phase of the engine is determined by adjusting the ignition timing angle in successive steps and evaluating the corresponding variation in the crankshaft revs. Each determined crankshaft angle and phase are stored for comparison with the next set of values, to provide a validity check.
