A vehicle-onboard control system for controlling various devices mounted on the motor vehicle. A control program for the control system can be altered through facilitated processing procedure with simple hardware structure while avoiding unfitness of control variables stored in a backup random access memory and used in executing the control program. A bootstrap program (13) responds to a command signal (C) issued by an external memory rewriting device (50) upon rewriting of the control program to thereby set an initialization flag (FN) in a backup RAM (14) containing control variables. The control program rewritten with updated data supplied from the memory rewriting device (50) responds to the set state of the initialization flag (FN) upon activation, to thereby initialize the control variables stored in the backup RAM (14) so that the control variables conform with the control program.

A fuel injection control apparatus for an internal combustion engine in which the air taken into the intake manifold by a Karman vortex detector. However, the amount of fuel injected is based on a calculated intake volume. The calculated intake volume for a time interval is a weighted sum of the measured volume and the calculated intake volume of the previous period. This overaging amounts for surge storage in the intake manifold and other input paths.

A system and a method for controlling fuel supply to an internal combustion engine are disclosed in which excessive supply of fuel to the engine is effectively prevented in a most reliable manner particularly at the time of engine deceleration. To this end, a reduction in the amount of intake air sucked into an engine per intake stroke is sensed, and the amount of fuel supplied to the engine is reduced when there is a reduction in the intake air amount sucked into engine per intake stroke. The amount of reduction in the fuel supply is changed in accordance with at least one of the number of revolutions per minute of the engine and the amount of intake air sucked into the engine per intake stroke.
