Abstract
Abstract A basic injection pulse width is derived from a table in accordance with speed of an engine and throttle position of a throttle valve of the engine. A time constant for providing a first order lag is calculated from variables dependent on the engine speed and the throttle position. The basic injection pulse width is corrected with the time constant, thereby producing a fuel injection pulse width signal for operating a fuel injector of the engine.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 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; determining means for producing a basic injection pulse width signal in accordance with the engine speed signal and throttle position signal; calculator means for producing a delay signal from variables dependent on the engine speed signal and the throttle position signal; correcting means for correcting the basic injection pulse width signal with the delay signal and for producing a fuel injection pulse width signal for operating the fuel injector.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
134 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; determining means for producing a basic injection pulse width signal in accordance with the engine speed signal and throttle position signal; calculator means for producing a delay signal from variables dependent on the engine speed signal and the throttle position signal; correcting means for correcting the basic injection pulse width signal with the delay signal and for producing a fuel injection pulse width signal for operating the fuel injector.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The system according to claim 1 wherein the delay signal is a time constant for providing a first order lag.
