Abstract
In an engine control system, an accelerating condition is detected from the phase of a crankshaft and an induction air pressure. A stroke condition is detected from a rotational angle of the crankshaft and an induction air pressure. A differential pressure between induction pipe pressures detected at a predetermined crank angle on an exhaust stroke and an induction stroke and induction pipe pressures resulting at the same crank angle on the same strokes is calculated as an induction air pressure difference ΔP. When ΔPis equal to or larger than the threshold, an accelerating condition is determined to be occurring, and fuel in acceleration is immediately added to a steady-state fuel injection amount for injection. To improve accelerating condition and the induction air amount detection accuracy, a volume from a throttle valve to an induction port is made equal to or smaller than the volume of the stroke of a cylinder.
