A fuel metering method is described for setting a desired air-to-fuel ratio in the combustible mixture to a controlled auto-ignition engine in which intake air is admitted through a wide open throttle and controlled indirectly by varying the mass of residual gases in the combustion chamber at the instant when the intake valve opens by regulating the timing of the closing of the exhaust valve during the exhaust stroke. The method comprises the steps of deriving a coarse estimation of the mass air flow into the engine based upon the timing of the closing of the exhaust valve, deriving a coarse estimation of the fuel quantity required based on the coarse estimation of mass air flow to achieve a desired air-to-fuel ratio to the engine, setting a nominal fuel supply quantity to the engine in accordance with the coarse estimation of the required fuel quantity, and adjusting the nominal fuel quantity by closed-loop adjustment based on the deviation from a reference value of a reading from a sensor responsive to the oxygen content of the engine exhaust gases.
