Abstract
In a system for producing a pulse signal for controlling an internal combustion engine, an engine control pulse signal is calculated by a digital computer during normal operation. If a failure or a malfunction of the digital computer is detected, the engine control pulse signal is replaced with a dummy signal produced by an auxiliary pulse generator.
