Abstract

In a feedback type ignition timing control system for internal combustion engines, the predetermined correction advance/retard angle values are stored in a read/write memory at the respective storage areas defined by the respective operating conditions of an engine, and the correction advance/retard angle values are each separately rewritten in accordance with the detected associated engine condition in response to a signal detecting the feedback factor. The advance/retard angle value for the ignition timing corresponding to the detected engine condition is separately determined in accordance with the corresponding rewritten advance/retard angle value and the ignition timing is controlled to suit the respective engine conditions in accordance with the correction advance/retard angle values preliminarily rewritten in response to the feedback factor.
