Abstract
An exact synchronization method for determining an angular position of an engine, modulo one engine cycle, by a crankshaft sensor and of at least one camshaft sensor. The method includes: estimating a continuous estimated interval assumed to contain the angular position, on receipt of a 'marker' event, determining an angular position corresponding to each one of the possible occurrences of this 'marker', comparing the determined angular position with the estimated interval. If exactly one of the determined angular positions belongs to the estimated interval, then this angular position is the angular position of the engine. And an engine control method using such a method.
