Abstract
Abstract A motor vehicle has a continuously variable belt-drive transmission having a clutch means which engages when speed of an engine is higher than a clutch engaging speed. A plurality of basic pulse widths for injecting fuel are stored in a memory arranged in accordance with the engine speed and opening degree of a throttle valve. Some of the basic pulse widths in a speed range lower than the clutch engaging engine speed are increased for acceleration of the engine. One of the basic pulse widths is retrieved in accordance with the actual engine speed and the throttle valve opening degree, and a fuel injection pulse width is calculated based on the retrieved basic pulse width.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
A fuel injection control system for an engine of a motor vehicle with a continuously variable belt-drive transmission having clutch means which engages when speed of the engine is higher than a clutch engaging speed, the system comprising: first detector means for detecting the speed of the engine; second detector means for detecting opening degree of a throttle valve of the engine; a memory storing a plurality of basic pulse widths for injecting fuel, which are arranged in accordance with the engine speed and the throttle valve opening degree, some of said basic pulse widths in a speed range lower than said clutch engaging engine speed being increased for acceleration of the engine; retrieving means for retrieving one of said basic pulse widths in accordance with the detected engine speed and the throttle valve opening degree; calculator means for calculating a fuel injection pulse width based on the retrieved basic pulse width.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
152 words
A fuel injection control system for an engine of a motor vehicle with a continuously variable belt-drive transmission having clutch means which engages when speed of the engine is higher than a clutch engaging speed, the system comprising: first detector means for detecting the speed of the engine; second detector means for detecting opening degree of a throttle valve of the engine; a memory storing a plurality of basic pulse widths for injecting fuel, which are arranged in accordance with the engine speed and the throttle valve opening degree, some of said basic pulse widths in a speed range lower than said clutch engaging engine speed being increased for acceleration of the engine; retrieving means for retrieving one of said basic pulse widths in accordance with the detected engine speed and the throttle valve opening degree; calculator means for calculating a fuel injection pulse width based on the retrieved basic pulse width.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
The fuel injection control system according to claim 1, wherein said increased basic pulse widths are provided to increase as the engine speed and the throttle opening degree increase.
