APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING THE SUPPLY OF FUEL TO AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

An apparatus is provided for controlling the supply of fuel to internal combustion engine having a control valve for controlling the amount of air to be supplied to an engine piston downstream of a throttle valve. The apparatus comprises a detector for detecting any disorder in the amount of air and for providing a disorder indicating signal. An engine speed sensor detects the rotating speed of the engine and a throttle opening sensor detects the degree of opening of the throttle valve. A fuel cut circuit is coupled to the disorder detector, the engine speed sensor, and the throttle opening sensor for storing a fuel cut area defined by the degree of throttle opening and the rotating speed of the engine. The fuel cut circuit produces, in response to the disorder indicating signal, a fuel cut command signal when the outputs of the engine speed sensor and the throttle opening sensor indicate that the engine is operating within the fuel cut area.
