Abstract
In a control method and device for a digitally controlled internal combustion engine, engine condition signals are read out from sensors for detecting conditions of the engine, with selected sensor outputs read out in synchronism with rotation of the engine at a predetermined crank angle empirically corresponding to a low engine load and resulting high battery voltage, the predetermined crank angle being within at least 20 crank angle degrees of bottom dead center.
