A method of controlling a plurality of electrical devices which control an operation of an internal combustion engine wherein an operation period of time required for each of the electrical devices is computed by computing means in response to operating conditions of the engine, the computed required operation period of time is counted by time-counting means, and each of the electrical devices is caused to operate during the counting. At each start of the time-counting from the computing means, a different one of the electrical devices is selected and the operation thereof is started, an interrupt signal is generated when the time-counting means has counted up, and the operation of the selected different one of the electrical devices is deenergized in response to the generation of the interrupt signal. Preferably, the time-counting means comprises a signal time counter.
