Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a fuel cut system for an electronic control system of an engine. When the deceleration of engine rotation is large during fuel cut, the fuel cut is interrupted at the rotational speed higher than when the deceleration is small, and thereby the engine stop caused by the fuel cut during racing period or the like is prevented.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
A fuel cut system for an electronic control engine, comprising an electronic control unit for selectively supplying fuel to the engine, said control unit completing the fuel cut when deceleration of the engine rotation during the fuel cut is less than a predetermined value with the rotational speed of the engine being reduced to a first predetermined value, the fuel cut being completed and asynchronous fuel injection being carried out immediately after the fuel cut when the deceleration of the engine rotation during the fuel cut is greater than said predetermined value with the rotational speed of the engine being lowered to a second predetermined value larger than the first predetermined value.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
112 words
A fuel cut system for an electronic control engine, comprising an electronic control unit for selectively supplying fuel to the engine, said control unit completing the fuel cut when deceleration of the engine rotation during the fuel cut is less than a predetermined value with the rotational speed of the engine being reduced to a first predetermined value, the fuel cut being completed and asynchronous fuel injection being carried out immediately after the fuel cut when the deceleration of the engine rotation during the fuel cut is greater than said predetermined value with the rotational speed of the engine being lowered to a second predetermined value larger than the first predetermined value.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
99 words
A fuel cut system as defined in claim 1, wherein, the deceleration of the engine rotation is judged relative to said predetermined value when the rotational speed of the engine reaches the second predetermined value so that, when the deceleration of the engine rotation is larger than the predetermined value, the asynchronous fuel injection is carried out and synchronous fuel injection is started, and when the deceleration of the engine rotation is less than the predetermined value, the rotational speed of the engine is judged relative to the first predetermined value to determine the stoppage of the fuel cut.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
A fuel cut system as defined in claims 1 or 2, wherein the asynchronous fuel injection is carried out once for one revolution of a crankshaft.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
A fuel cut system as defined in claim 3, wherein fuel amount in said asynchronous fuel injection corresponds to more than a half of requested fuel amount.
