Abstract: In order to control all revolution numbers of an engine at high precision, combustion of each cylinder is reliably controlled. For the combustion control of each cylinder, there are controlled measurement timings of an air volume as well as a fuel volume contributive to the combustion and exhaust gas being a combustion result, calculation timings of a fuel injection volume and an ignition timing, and output timings of fuel injection and/or ignition. These timings are synchronized by crank angle positions from a reference point such as top dead center. Particularly as to the measurement timing, a delay time of a gas stream between a measurement spot and the cylinder is compensated in terms of a crank angle corresponding thereto, whereby the variables to be measured are synchronized.

Abstract: A method of controlling fuel injection to an internal combustion engine by electronic circuits. A plurality of cylinders installed in the internal combustion engine are divided into two groups and two electronic circuits for controlling the respective two cylinder groups are provided. By comparing between the outputs of the two electronic circuits, whether the operations of the respective electronic circuits are normal or not is judged. The fuel injection controlled by the electronic circuit which has been judged to be abnormal is stopped, while the fuel injection controlled by the electronic circuit which has been judged to be normal is continued. Thus, the internal combustion engine is driven solely by one group of cylinders.
