A method for controlling the ignition of an internal combustion engine ( 10 ) for a motor vehicle. More specifically, the method controls the timing of ignition for each of cylinder of the internal combustion engine ( 10 ). Control of the timing is based on two parameters, i.e., the speed at which the internal combustion engine ( 10 ) is operating and the gear in which the transmission ( 22 ) is operating. The speed is measured in terms of revolutions per minute. The gear helps to gauge what type of load may be present on the internal combustion engine ( 10 ). By identifying each of these parameters, it may easily be determined at what value the timing may be. If the specific speed of the vehicle is not located within the look-up table, where the data is stored, the method will interpolate the timing value based on values close to the value of the speed of the internal combustion engine ( 10 ) based on the neighboring values thereof. |
