Abstract
Abstract A system for controlling fuel injection has an engine speed sensor, a throttle position sensor and an atmospheric pressure sensor. A first basic injection pulse width is calculated based on detected engine speed, throttle position, and atmospheric pressure. A memory storing correcting coefficients dependent on engine speed is provided, and a correcting coefficient is derived from the memory in accordance with the engine speed. The first basic injection pulse width is corrected with the derived correcting coefficient to provide a fuel injection pulse width signal for operating a fuel injector.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
A system for controlling fuel injection of an engine for a motor vehicle having an intake passage, a throttle valve provided in the intake passage, and a fuel injector, the system comprising: an engine speed sensor producing an engine speed signal dependent on speed of the engine; a throttle position sensor producing a throttle position signal dependent on the opening degree of the throttle valve; an atmospheric pressure sensor producing an atmospheric pressure signal; first calculator means for producing a first basic injection pulse width signal in accordance with the engine speed signal, throttle position signal, and atmospheric pressure signal; first memory means storing correcting coefficients dependent on engine speed; means responsive to the engine speed signal for deriving a correcting coefficient from the first memory means; and correcting means for correcting the first basic injection pulse width signal with the derived correcting coefficient and for producing a fuel injection pulse width signal for operating the fuel injector.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
158 words
A system for controlling fuel injection of an engine for a motor vehicle having an intake passage, a throttle valve provided in the intake passage, and a fuel injector, the system comprising: an engine speed sensor producing an engine speed signal dependent on speed of the engine; a throttle position sensor producing a throttle position signal dependent on the opening degree of the throttle valve; an atmospheric pressure sensor producing an atmospheric pressure signal; first calculator means for producing a first basic injection pulse width signal in accordance with the engine speed signal, throttle position signal, and atmospheric pressure signal; first memory means storing correcting coefficients dependent on engine speed; means responsive to the engine speed signal for deriving a correcting coefficient from the first memory means; and correcting means for correcting the first basic injection pulse width signal with the derived correcting coefficient and for producing a fuel injection pulse width signal for operating the fuel injector.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
58 words
The system according to claim 1 further comprising second memory means storing throttle opening areas dependent on the throttle positions, and means for deriving a throttle opening area in dependence on the throttle position signal, and the first basic injection pulse width being calculated base on the engine speed signal, throttle opening area signal and atmospheric pressure signal.
