An ignition control for an internal combustion engine accurately determines current engine operational status (acceleration or deceleration) and controls optimally ignition timing. The exemplary system includes a microcomputer, drive circuits for driving ignition coils from outputs of the microcomputer, and a waveform shaping circuit for shaping signal pulses from a crank angle sensor before into the microcomputer. The microcomputer calculates changes in engine speed from wave-shaped signal pulses and determines acceleration rate relative to the maximum attainable acceleration from the speed changes. The microcomputer controls the ignition timing based on the determined acceleration rate. Thus, a complicated throttle link or throttle opening sensor is not necessitated to perform acceleration responsive engine control.
