Engine control based on the smooth or rough running of the engine is performed by obtaining a signal indicative of crankshaft rotation and by digital measurement of the period of revolution. The periods of three successive revolutions are compared to obtain a second differential, related to acceleration and hence to combustion chamber pressure. This second differential is compared digitally to a nominal value, taken from an rpm-dependent function of the engine smoothness, derived by frequency synthesis of the frequencies from individual stages in one or more of the counters.
