Synchronisation device without a cam-position sensor for an internal combustion engine |
(57) A method for generating a synchronising signal over 720° for an internal combustion
engine without the use of a cam sensor but with the use of alternative strategies,
for example, by detecting the duration of the spark in a reference cylinder or the
correlation of the engine acceleration with the throttle valve angle.
