A system for controlling the relative positions of the two pistons in double or opposed piston engines having hydrostatic motion transducers for transmitting the piston energy to a driveshaft. The control is effected by adding fluid to or withdrawing fluid from the transducers. The system includes means for comparing the positions of the two pistons and the angle of rotation of the driveshaft to generate two synchronous error signals, and means for comparing the actual dead points of said two pistons and the predetermined nominal dead points of each piston to generate first and second dead point error signals, and for relating the first dead point error signal to the second dead point error signal. Fluid is added to or withdrawn from the hydrostatic motion transducers in accordance with the synchronous error signals when the engine speed is below a selected engine speed, and in accordance with a dead point error signal when said engine speed exceeds a predetermined speed. In the system, control of both pistons is simultaneously switched from the synchronous error signal to the dead point error signal and vice versa.
