Abstract

An electronic fuel injection control includes a main fuel control circuit which operates to control fuel flow to the engine by controlling the duration of engine-synchronized fuel valve opening pulses in accordance with at least one engine parameter. An auxiliary pulse source is arranged to provide extra unsynchronized pulses to improve the acceleration characteristics of the control, such pulses being produced when the throttle is opened. A muting circuit is provided which operates for a fixed period following closing movement of the throttle, to prevent the auxiliary pulse source responding to throttle opening during said period. The muting circuit prevents excess fuelling during gear changes etc.
